I also have the same issue on my HP Workstation XW4600 with an HP Mirror (160GB).

The system tries to partition the drive array (which it sees) however it tries to install to PARITION1 which does not exist. When I do an ls on /dev/mapper/ I see ARRAY ARRAYP2 and ARRAYP5; not ARRAYP1 (where it attempts to install).

I booted into Ubuntu 10.04 via CDROM and did an fdisk and created my primary partition and linux swap. I then formatted my primary partition to ext4. I tried to rerun the installer however it wanted to format the partition (which would break it). I rebooted the system and ran the installer again this time setting it to use the existing ext4. I had to add the mount point (/). The installer finished successfully afterwards.

However on boot; it appears that grub fails to load. After the bios boots I receive a blinking cursor. I am bootting back to CD now to check my grub config. I will let you know my results.
