Public bug reported:
Am installing Trusty (AMD-64 Desktop), with /boot as a RAID-1 set
(ext2fs) under mdadm on a GPT partition, with a separate, non-RAID,
unformatted partition for BIOS-grub. At the stage of attempting to
install GRUB it fails, reporting fatal error. I get the window offering
the option (among others) to continue without installing GRUB anywhere.
I select this option, but the "OK" button never becomes active and no
further progress occurs. The installer shows signs of having "crashed"
or "locked-up", so I cannot be confident that the remainder of the
installation has been completed, otherwise I could assemble the RAID-
sets at a mount-point, then chroot and complete the installation of GRUB
that way. I know that this build isn't intended for RAID installations,
but a clean failure would be helpful. Thank you.
