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.
