Title:
  Karmic upgrade or fresh install will not boot

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  AMD64 system with 2 500gb Samsung HDs in RAID0 format.

  Upgrading 9.04 to 9.10 results in my PC not booting, dropping to
  busybox prompt after 10 sec of the Ubuntu logo.  No error messages
  appear.

  A fresh install from Live CD only sees a RAID array, not the 9.04
  already installed, installing results in a Grub error 2.

  Fresh install from Alt CD activating raid array results in system
  unable to boot, same as if I upgraded.

  Fresh install from Alt CD not activating RAID also fails to boot after
  install, again, no error messages.

  I'm not sure what bug this falls under, if any.  Suggestions to change
  my RAID in BIOS won't help, I searched every line, every option in
  BIOS and RAID is never mentioned.  How does one install 9.10 to a RAID
  so it boots?  A clear, step by step guide is desperately needed as
  many people are having the same problem.  9.10 is unusable as it
  currently exists.
