[Bug 1581490] [NEW] grub-install fails for Kubuntu 16.04 on RAID 1

[Twisted Lucidity]

Public bug reported:

Trying to install Kubuntu 16.04 on a desktop which uses RAID 1.

The install starts OK and then fails about half way through with:

Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed.
This is a fatal error.

This, unfortunately, renders it impossible to install Kubuntu.
