Hi,
just adding two photos about failing installation; the first photo shows
that installer is correctly trying to place grup on the raid root, the
second one shows that instead of placing installation on the raid root
it tries to address one of the raid disks - apparently it fails

I wanted to upgrade from 10.04 x32 to 12.04 x64 using FRESH installation.
So, run installation of Ubuntu 12.04.1 x64 LTS using alternate CD.
During the installation I selected manual partitioning and to:
- Use and Format / (root)
- Use and Format SWAP
- Use and Keep data on /home
- Use and Keep data on /data
After I clicked "Continue" I get error creating and formatting SWAP
partition.
I go to terminal with Alt + F2 (?) and hit enter.
I discovered that there was visible RAID as only disk with NO partitions.
Something like this:
arek at domek:/var/log/installer$ ls -l /dev/mapper/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Oct 7 20:17 /dev/mapper/pdc_jhjbcaha -> ../dm-0
arek at domek:/var/log/installer$ ls -l /dev/dm*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 0 Oct 7 20:17 /dev/dm-0
So I switched to log console Alt+F3 (?) and saw errors like below:

As You can see there are 2 errors
Oct 7 14:02:55 dmraid-activate: ERROR: Cannot retrieve RAID set
information for pdc_jhjbcaha
and
Oct 7 14:06:11 partman: mkswap: can't open
'/dev/mapper/pdc_jhjbcaha2': No such file or directory
I looked in the internet and try to run command "dmraid -ay" and get
something like that:
dmraid -ay
/dev/mapper/pdc_jhjbcaha -> Already activated
/dev/mapper/pdc_jhjbcaha1 -> Successfully activated
/dev/mapper/pdc_jhjbcaha2 -> Successfully activated
/dev/mapper/pdc_jhjbcaha3 -> Successfully activated
/dev/mapper/pdc_jhjbcaha4 -> Successfully activated
/dev/mapper/pdc_jhjbcaha5 -> Successfully activated
/dev/mapper/pdc_jhjbcaha6 -> Successfully activated
Then I returned to installer with Alt+F1 (?) and click "Return" to
return to partitioning menu. I did NOT change anything just selected
again "Continue" and everything goes smoothly.
I hope this will help someone.
