(Edited initial post for clarity).
Note also that I only tried steps 4 and 5 above because I thought maybe
the ext4 had something to do with it. I'll try the same install using
ext3 and see if it makes a difference -- the filesystem type is likely a
red herring but I want to be sure.
** Description changed:
- Installing Karmic x86 cdimage (23-Sep-09 nightly).
- Dell OptiPlex 960, 4Gb RAM, with Intel ICH10 fakeraid setup for Windows XP
RAID 1.
+ Installing Karmic x86 livecd image (23-Sep-09 nightly).
+ Dell OptiPlex 960, 4Gb RAM, with Intel ICH10 fakeraid setup with Windows XP
(RAID 1).
1) I resized NTFS partition to make 20Gb of room for Ubuntu.
- 2) Run Karmic installer, it seems fakeraid correctly, and I choose Manual
partitioning, created ext4 on new partition.

3) Installer goes thru entire installation, but fails on grub step with
following error:
"Grub package failed to install into /target. Without GRUB boot loader,
the installed system will not boot."
4) I tried opening a terminal as su, and ran
grub-install --root-directory=target /dev/mapper/isw_bfdafeice_ARRAY
(which is the correct mapped disk, I believe) and it fails with "grub-probe:
error: no mapping exists for isw_bfdafeice_ARRAY5". Auto detection of a
filesystem module failed.
5) Then I tried
- grub-install --module=ext4 --root-directory=target
/dev/mapper/isw_bfdafeice_ARRAY
+ grub-install --module=ext4 --root-directory=target
/dev/mapper/isw_bfdafeice_ARRAY
and it fails with, "You attempted a cross-disk install, but the filesystem
containing target/boot/grub does not support UUIDs".
So, left with a system that won't install GRUB so I can't boot. Happy
to provide more detail.
