Bug Description
Installing from a Mythbuntu amd64 CD booted in UEFI mode. Manually created partitions using gdisk, created RAID1 using mdadm. Ran Ubiquity installer to create /dev/md0p1 as ext4, install proceeded until aborting at the end saying that grub-efi could not be installed.
Manual attempts to install grub also failed (both from the CD and chroot), so the problem package may actually be grub2.
