I "kept it simple" for the purposes of filing this bug report list posting. >> During the install, I select: Install boot loader on /dev/sda. Minimal >> Install.

Here's what "parted /dev/sda print" has to say: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 2097kB 1049kB [NULL] [NULL] bios_grub 2 2097kB 5245MB 5243MB [NULL] [NULL] raid 3 10.5GB 11.0GB 524MB ext4 "software RAID" boot So, it looks like sda3 is set to boot. So, I changed it so that sda1 has the boot flag. That also cleared the "bios_grub" flag on sda1. Then, I removed the boot flag from sda3. It's still doing the same thing: error: no such device: 71ec265a-f934-40a6-b02d-3ff3a274d229 Ideas?
