Bug Description
My system has 2 hard drives in a RAID 0 and a third drive by itself. I am attempting to install to the RAID 0. My motherboard supports both BIOS and UEFI. When booting via BIOS, I get an error that Grub failed to install to /dev/sda. Manually selecting any other disk on my system fails. When booting via UEFI, I do not get the Grub error, but instead a generic error that the installer has crashed (which prompted me to submit this bug report). I have destroyed the RAID 0 and rebuilt it, but the problem remains. I actually can successfully install using the beta2 iso booting via BIOS, but when I update the system after installation, it tries to update Grub which then fails to install.

Hey Dimitri, it looks like the dmraid->mdadm transition isn't working here: this isw array is still being activated by dmraid rather than mdadm. Any thoughts?
