The installer GUI said it was going to try installing GRUB on sda, not sda1. (This isn't a duplicate of #1322182) my setup is: / on XFS on /dev/md0: RAID10 of sda2,sdb2,sdc2 /home on XFS on a different md RAID10 of sda3,sdb3,sdc3 /var/tmp on XFS on a different md RAID0 of sda4,sdb4,sdc4 /f on XFS on a different md RAID5 of sda6,sdb6,sdc6,sdd (yes, whole sdd, it's an old 2.5TB, others are new 3TB) To get Ubiquity to install with the root fs on md0, rather than partitioning md0, I had to mkfs /dev/md0. (Which is fine, because I wanted to use custom mkfs.xfs options anyway.) I know this setup is viable because I had it working after a manual rsync / chroot / grub-install to get my 14.10 system onto this RAID setup. I'm only using the installer (kubuntu 15.04 beta2) because I've been having some weird crashes, and want to get rid of any cruft that might have built up over the course of continuous upgrades from Ubuntu 7.04. Also, it would be nice if the installer gave the option to grub-install onto ALL your disks, not just sda. In a raid setup, you want all your disks to be bootable in case one dies but your essential filesystems are only degraded, not lost. Even in a non-raid setup, it's potentially useful if you aren't sure the BIOS detects your disks in the same order as Linux.
