While I encountered a similar problem when upgrading from 8.04 LTS, my observations might possibly prove helpful for fresh installs as well:
- 10.04 dropped me to the initramfs shell with: "ALERT!! /dev/md0 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"
- I was then able to continue booting after issuing "mdadm --auto-detect; exit"
- A subsequent "grub-install /dev/md0" fixed the initramsfs problem with /dev/md0 for me.
Please note this is still grub 0.97, as that doesn't seem to be upgraded automatically...
