I am still experiencing this bug. I tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 server on three discs sda, sdb, sdc. They were all partitioned into two primary partition, 2GB and "rest". I run a boot partition raid1 on the 2GB and a raid5->encrypted-. >logical volumes on the "rest"-parts.
Everything goes smoothly until the grub part. Screen goes res and says, grub-installed failed. I was offered by the installer to use "old" grub instead but the installation of this old grub also failed. Workaround for me (many hours (= later ) was to: 1. Press back 2. Go into shell (bottom in the menu) 3. mount --bind /proc /target/proc 4. mount --bind /dev /target/dev 5. chroot /target 6. bash 7. apt-get update 8. apt-get -y upgrade 9. apt-get install grub 10. exit 11. exit 12. Now go through the grub step, which now worked using the "old" grub The system booted up nicely but I have not tried rebooting it since. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527401 Title: grub-installer fails to install on a raid1 array -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
