Could you please try again with a Karmic daily-live CD (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/)? I just ran through an install to a SD card and it worked fine. Make sure in the advanced dialog (on the summary page) that the bootloader is installing to /dev/mmcblk0. Let me know if it wasn't already set to.

If the install fails, please attach /var/log/syslog and /target/boot/grub/device.map to this bug report.

Thanks!
