I'm seeing a very similiar issue, although with no raid setup - just a single sata disk, standard partition table, nothing complex.
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: this LDM has no Embedding Partition; embedding won't be possible. /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for RAID and LVM install. $ fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 300.1 GB, 300069052416 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 36481 cylinders, total 586072368 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x8f83bc52 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 562628430 586067264 11719417+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda2 * 63 562628429 281314183+ 83 Linux Currently resorting to manually installing grub 1.99-22ubuntu2 every time I update so the system actually boots. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051154 Title: [quantal] warning: your embedding area is unusually small. core.img won't fit in it.
