[Bug 1315344] Re: Grub install failed on disks with software RAID

[Helge Meinhard]

Thanks, did all that, but it doesn't resolve the problem:

 > ...
 > /# grub-install /dev/sda
Installing for i386-pc platform.
(after a few seconds wait)
grub-install: error: disk `md1' not found.

I looked at /target/boot/grub - no grub.cfg. /target/etc/default/grub
and /target/etc/grub.d/* all look unsuspicious. Trying to run
update-grub results in the same 'disk md1 not found' error message
from grub-probe.

Title:
  Grub install failed on disks with software RAID

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

Bug description:
  I've got two 2TB drives set up with identical partitions, which are combined into RAID1 arrays (five mirrors across the two disks).
  On a free RAID1 I've installed Trusty 64bit from the Desktop installer ("try Ubuntu" first, install mdadm, run mdadm --assemble --scan, then start installer). I then wanted grub to be installed onto /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, but both fail.
