[Bug 1065987] Re: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for RAID and LVM install.

[martin suc]

The thing is that I am not trying to install grub on raid partition. I am ware of bios_grub if I need to boot it from. 
The problem is that by default when new release of grub-pc appears - it is going to try to install it on raid partition/s by your-self within installation process. This should not be happening, right ?

So , the questions are:
1. Why is it trying to install it on /dev/md121 (I am not booting directly from this drive at all) ?
2. Why am I always get into grub shell (I have to manually repair it within another OS instance ) ?

This is always the same scenario within couple of last weeks.

thanks for helping.
M.
