Description of problem:

The machine is an old MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR motherboard:
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/K7N2_DeltaL_ILSR.html

I have a Crucial SSD connected on one of the serial ATA ports. He're what says the motherboard manual about that:

======================================================
Promise 20376 Serial ATA Interface (Optional)
  Support 2 serial ATA plus 1 ATA133 
    -  RAID O or 1 are supported
    -  RAID function works w/ATA133+SATA H/D or 2 SATA H/D
Connect up to 2 SATA devices and 1 ATA133 device 
======================================================

The problem is that the installation run sucessfully, but at the very end, grub2 installation fails. Seems to be related to the RAID. I used the install DVD of mageia 6 sta 2 downloaded yesterday from mageia website.

How reproducible:
Always. If I remember well, I had the problem under mageia 5 too.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just install
