Problem with software RAID/LVM

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 6.06.1 Server on a machine with two SATA
drives. The basic layout I'm looking for:
/dev/md0 /boot ext3 100MB
/dev/md1 VolGroup00 LVM PV max
I created 'physical volume for RAID' partitions on both drives, created the
MD devices, set md0 to ext3 for /boot, and set md1 to 'physical volume for
LVM'. Then I selected 'Configure the Logical Volume Manager' and '<Yes>' to
write the changes to disk. At this poing, I get the following error:
Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/md/1p1 --
Invalid argument. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to
/dev/md/1p1 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any
way before rebooting.
Error!!!
For kicks, I tried installing in a VMware virtual machine set up with two
SCSI disks. Same error. Thus, this appears to be a bug in the installer.
Any workarounds to get a system up with mirrored disks containing a boot
partition and remaining space for LVM volumes?
