Comment 150 for bug 568050

For those trying to use 10.4 server and not desktop....

I was able to install using FakeRaid with these steps (mixed from several posts and a lot of trial and error later testing with three different machines)...

* Create fakeraid taking care of not having a digit at the end of the raid volume name
* Partition the volume using Ubuntu 9.10. In my case, I had Ubunto 9.10 server installer stopped right after partitions were created and the installer began to copy files to the disk. At that point I shut down the server.
* Start 10.4 LTS server installer.
* When you get to partitioning, select the ext4 partition and modify it to use as ext4 (currently ussage is none) and set the mount point to "/ (root)". Don't touch anything else
* Finish partitioning and let the installer complete.
* When done, restart the machine but go into the 10.4 installer again. This time select "repair a broken system"
* When you reach the menu with the different repair options (start a terminal session, ..., install grub, ...) choose install grub and enter your fakeraid device.... /dev/mapper/isw_XXXXXXX_XXXX (the one with no number at the end..)
* Remove the installer and restart the server
* Enjoy 10.4 LTS on FakeRaid... ;-)
