** Description changed:
+ Stable release update justification:
+
+ Impact: grub-installer picks the wrong device to install GRUB to when / is on
a software RAID device composed of CCISS devices, and the installation
therefore fails.
+ Development branch: Fixed in grub-installer 1.60ubuntu1 by adding a mapdevfs
command to canonicalise the /dev/block/ device names printed by 'mdadm
--detail'.
+ Patch:
+

+
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/grub-installer/maverick-proposed/revision/1187
+ TEST CASE: I'm afraid this consists of finding a system with at least two
CCISS disks and doing a RAID install on it. It looks like Canonical Support
have access to such a system, so I hope they can help.
+ Regression potential: As far as I know, this can't affect anything other than
RAID installs.
+
+ Original report follows:

Binary package hint: debian-installer
The installation of Lucid is futile on a HP Proliant DL385 G7 system
(uncertified). Other releases have not been tested at this time.
Logs (syslog and partman) generated during install time (using just one
of the two available RAID controllers) have been attached. Apport
information from the affected system is forthcoming (live CD).
