Lucid Server install:

If you try to install lucid server 64 bit as a software raid1 install, the partitioning seems to go correctly. however when you get to grub installation, grub won't install. The result is an un-bootable system.

It could be related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-base/+bug/506670
However in my case it has nothing to do with the size of the hard-disk's as the install will even fail with two hard-disk's of just 10gigs each. I was advised to report it as another bug.

So basically it fails every install regardless of the hardware setup. Should be easy to reproduce.
