I'm working to remove grub1 from the seeds, and I'm now wondering if
this is still the case. I.e. if we can drop grub1, and only have grub2
for e.g. fakeraid installs et.al. Wouldn't this support be visible in
like installer changes too?

Title:
  Installer fails: grub fails on Intel ICH10 raid

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Installing Karmic x86 livecd image (23-Sep-09 nightly).
  Dell OptiPlex 960, 4Gb RAM, with Intel ICH10 fakeraid setup with Windows XP (RAID 1).

  1) I resized NTFS partition to make 20Gb of room for Ubuntu.
  2) Run Karmic installer, it sees fakeraid correctly, and I choose Manual partitioning, creating ext4 on new partition.
  3) Installer goes thru entire installation, but fails on grub step with following error:

  "Grub package failed to install into /target. Without GRUB boot
  loader, the installed system will not boot."

  4) I tried opening a terminal as su, and ran
    grub-install --root-directory=target /dev/mapper/isw_bfdafeice_ARRAY  (which is the correct mapped disk, I believe)  and it fails with  "grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for isw_bfdafeice_ARRAY5". Auto detection of a filesystem module failed.

  5) Then I tried
    grub-install --module=ext4 --root-directory=target /dev/mapper/isw_bfdafeice_ARRAY
  and it fails with, "You attempted a cross-disk install, but the filesystem containing target/boot/grub does not support UUIDs".

  So, left with a system that won't install GRUB so I can't boot.  Happy
  to provide more detail.
