You can try manually installing grub. Bring up a second console (ALT+F2). You should have a /target directory which is your installed system. What you want to do is chroot to that directory and run grub-install. To do this execute the following commands: In the above example I have assumed you've installed Ubuntu onto the first drive. If that works you also want to install grub onto any of the other drives that host your /boot RAID-1 partition, e.g. /dev/sdb Even if this doesn't work you should see some relatively useful error messages which you can use to better troubleshoot the problem (Google is your friend). If everything installs without issue you should be able to restart the computer and have it boot into Ubuntu. | |||
