I originally posted this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1405933 but I now know the problem. Grub fails when it goes to install because of the fakeraid. I have tried to follow the how-to located here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1360445 but I get to Step 5 and it fails with the error
sudo chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash
bash: groups: command not found
This will be installed on a system where ubuntu 9.10 will be the only operating system right now there is 2 320GB SATA hard drives with possibility of a third in the near future. the second drive has all the backups from my old Linux stuff (Slackware) and drive shares that I share with Windows machines as well as the old /home directories, so this drive I don't want touched by the install (but this drive is showing up how I expected /dev/sdb), the first drive (which is showing up as /dev/mapper/nvidia_fgjhebae) is the one I am partitioning and formatting to put ubuntu onto. It fails on the grub portion and then it putting me into ubuntu using a livecd that why everything slow and so on. So how do I get past this error the fakeraid is giving me and how much did I not get installed because it stopped at 94%. This is new to me because when I install Slackware I partition it and then it recognizes the /dev/sda and /dev/sdb with no extra effort.
