Comment 43 for bug 571258

I hit this too, and so far, its been stunningly painful to work around. I have to run a custom kernel because I run RAID, and the stock Ubunutu kernels+initrd have never been able to handle having the root volume on RAID.

The older Ubuntu installs (e.g. dapper, feisty, jaunty) had installers that could at least install onto pre-exisiting raid partitions, but the newest iso's (lucid, & 64-bit desktops) can no longer install onto raid partitions. This, coupled to the spurious crash above, is making rescue *really* hard/tedious.
