[Bug 1206952] Re: Fresh install 13.04 from Live usb stick to SSD (with 2 x RAID0 HDD)

[Phillip Susi]

You appear to have tried to install grub to /dev/sda, which appears to
be one of the drives in the fake hardware raid array.  If you wish to
boot from the fakeraid, you need to install grub to the whole raid
array, not an individual disk. That would be the /dev/mapper/xxx device.

If you are not dual booting with Windows, it is advised to avoid the use
of fakeraid entirely and stick to regular Linux software raid, which is
much better supported.

Title:
  Fresh install 13.04 from Live usb stick to SSD (with 2 x RAID0 HDD)

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Trying to install fresh 13.04 onto a machine with a 128G SSD and 2 x
  1TB HDD in hardware RAID0.  I'm trying to get the OS onto LVM
  partitions on the SSD (just using the generic LVM install from the
  checkbox on the relevant dialog in the Install Wizard) and plan to use
  the HDDs for data etc, but I keep getting this Grub error.
