Remember that you need to use apt-setup/proposed=true to pull in the unverified grub-installer update.
** Description changed: Stable release update justification: Impact: grub-installer picks the wrong device to install GRUB to when / is on a software RAID device composed of CCISS devices, and the installation therefore fails. Development branch: Fixed in grub-installer 1.60ubuntu1 by adding a mapdevfs command to canonicalise the /dev/block/ device names printed by 'mdadm --detail'. Patch: - http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/grub-installer/lucid-proposed/revision/1173 - http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/grub-installer/maverick-proposed/revision/1187 - TEST CASE: I'm afraid this consists of finding a system with at least two CCISS disks and doing a RAID install on it. It looks like Canonical Support have access to such a system, so I hope they can help. + http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/grub-installer/lucid-proposed/revision/1173 + http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/grub-installer/maverick-proposed/revision/1187 + TEST CASE: I'm afraid this consists of finding a system with at least two CCISS disks and doing a RAID install on it. It looks like Canonical Support have access to such a system, so I hope they can help. Use the apt-setup/proposed=true boot parameter to pull in the unverified installer update. Regression potential: As far as I know, this can't affect anything other than RAID installs. Original report follows: Binary package hint: debian-installer The installation of Lucid is futile on a HP Proliant DL385 G7 system (uncertified). Other releases have not been tested at this time. Logs (syslog and partman) generated during install time (using just one of the two available RAID controllers) have been attached. Apport information from the affected system is forthcoming (live CD).
