Public bug reported:
I booted from the dvd, clicked "Try Kubuntu", downloaded and set up mdadm, ran mdadm --assemble --scan, and got the following from mdadm --detail /dev/md1
/dev/md1:
Version : 1.2
Creation Time : Thu Oct 27 00:34:39 2011

Number Major Minor RaidDevice State

1 8 19 1 active sync /dev/sdb3
2 8 35 2 active sync /dev/sdc3
3 8 51 3 active sync /dev/sdd3
Next, I clicked "Install Kubuntu 14.04 LTS". When I got to "Disk Setup Installation type" I chose "Manual".
The installer found /dev/md0, which is my swap, and /dev/md1, which is my main RAID. I selected it and clicked "change". I changed "do not use the partition" to "ext4 journaling file system", chose "Format the partition", and the automatically selected Mount point "/". I then selected "/dev/sda1", which is a 1MB partition, and clicked "change", selected "Reserved BIOS boot area", and "Ok" because "Format the partition" and "Mount point:" were grayed out.
Next, since "Device for boot loader installation:" defaulted to "/dev/sda", I selected "/dev/sda1".
The installer continued, downloaded and installed files, then presented a text box "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. This is a fatal error." I clicked "Ok" and got "Installer Crashed We're sorry, the installer crashed. Please file a new bug report..." which brought me here.
I also tried allowing "Device for boot loader installation:" to default
to "/dev/sda", with the same fatal error resulting.
