Trying this on Karmic beta (AMD64) and the grub installation fails with
a red screen

====================================
Unable to install GRUB in /dev/mdo
Executing 'grub-install /dev/md0 failed'
This is a fatal error
====================================

I tried to shell out and install grub during install, but couldn't
figure out how.   I continued installation without installing a boot
loader.

Rebooted to Alternate CD, and chose to repair a broken installation.  Once to a 
shell, I ran
grub-install /dev/sda
grub-install /dev/sdb

Removed CD and rebooted.  It ended up at a grub shell.  At which point I
ran the following to boot into the system (note the difference in grub2
commands)


set root=(hd0,1)
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic   ro root=/dev/md1    (use tab-completion on 
the kernel image filename)
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic      (use tab-completion)
boot

At that point, it started up normally.  Once logged in, I started a
terminal and then ran this command as root to create a minimal grub.cfg
file (note that it is no longer called menu.lst)

grub-mkconfig > /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I'm now able to reboot into a working system.
