Description Tony Blackwell 2014-07-20 12:00:34 CEST 
The "draklive-install" program crashed. Drakbug-16.36 caught it.

NOTE: This is related to bug 13592, but allowing this semi-automated bug report as the issue here is failure of grub2 to install on Intel RAID 0.  I'd run this install from M5 alpha1 live KDE_x86_64, urpmi'd dmraid, run dmraid -ay then partprobe to bukild the devices in /dev/mapper, then run the install against one partition in /dev/mapper:

Bottom line: Does grub2 install on RAID 0, GPT/UEFI?  (or might failure be related to the live DVD dies early if run as UEFI device, had to do the install as a non-UEFI DVD).

Trying to  install grub2 on the top level of a RAID 0 assembly (2 x 250Gb SSD's) on a new ASUS UX301 laptop, preserving the Win8.1 RAID 0.

I think you should have left the default so it installs in the ESP.

@Barry: any idea?

Comment 5 Tony Blackwell 2015-04-27 12:32:32 CEST 
I suspect this could be closed, from the problem in 13592 being effectively resolved by current M5RC9 RAID fixes.  Grub2 now installs fine on RAID 0 as per comment 27 there.  Are there any issues in the marked duplicates which would stop this being closed?
Comment 6 Samuel Verschelde 2015-05-21 13:46:45 CEST 
Closing as fixed, please reopen if needed.
