[Bug 998366] Re: Grub crashed during installation

[Brian Murray]

Perhaps ubiquity should return a more informative error message rather
than just crashing in this case.

Title:
  grub installation failed due to occupied boot track

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The process of installation goes well until the installation of Grub. It then crashes, and let the system in a complete unusable state: no more Windows MBR, nor valid Grub to boot Linux. I tried twice, each time with a full format of my Ext4 / partition.
  Maybe is it related to the fact I try installing Linux on a RAID device...
