[Bug 1310284] [NEW] Installer crashed after few failed attempts to install grub on software raid0 and "continue without bootloader"

[Alexey Ozerov]

Public bug reported:

My installation steps:
1) Create software raid0 md0 for "/" and md1 for swap on two SSDs
2) Run installer "Try unbuntu -> Install"
3) At the end of installation I have the error, that grub cant't be installed on /dev/sda1 (actually, known issue)
4) There is menu to choose another location to install I've tried md0 and md0p1 locations (of course unsuccesful) but after second attemp I've got the pop up message "Installation complete: continue/reboot" and "Failed to install grub to /dev/md0p1" in a few seconds.
5) I've pressed "Continue without bootloader" to install it manually and pressed "Continue to use" in another pop up window.
6) Crash.
