The exact error message that I found using dmesg was

EXT4-fs (md1p2): bad geometry: block count 119655152 exceeds size of device (117213680 blocks)

I also had a

md1: detected capacity change from 0 to 490107502592

and

md1: p2 size 957241344 exceeds device capacity, limited to end of disk

The md1 was configured as a system root partition with Ext4 and md0 was a Swap (which seemed to work). For installation I followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html

BTW, I also used the amd64 server version of Lucid.
