1. Ubuntu 10.04 beta2 x64 server (installed from CD) would not boot from raid1; see above.
2. It would not boot even if you destruct your RAID1 (into 3 pieces in my case) and ask it to install on a simple non-raid ext4 partitions that result.

Workaround:

a) boot from any LiveCD, or rescue CD
b) mount your intended root on /mnt, intended boot on /mnt/boot, /dev, /proc, /sys, /usr
to /mnt/... (resp)
c) chroot /mnt
d) grub-install /dev/sda (and the same for /sdb, /sdc, just to be on the safe side)

Elementary, Watson.

The biggest question is: why can't they implement it in the installer? (We are talking version 10.04).
If the installer is that bad, what could one expect of the rest? (not speaking about how this installer looks,
probably from 60-70's).
