For those trying to use 10.4 server and not desktop....

I was able to install using FakeRaid with these steps (mixed from
several posts and a lot of trial and error later testing with three
different machines)...

*  Create fakeraid taking care of not having a digit at the end of the raid 
volume name
*  Partition the volume using Ubuntu 9.10.  In my case, I had Ubunto 9.10 
server installer stopped right after partitions were created and the installer 
began to copy files to the disk.  At that point I shut down the server.
*  Start 10.4 LTS server installer.
*  When you get to partitioning, select the ext4 partition and modify it to use 
as ext4 (currently ussage is none) and set the mount point to "/ (root)".  
Don't touch anything else
*  Finish partitioning and let the installer complete.
*  When done, restart the machine but go into the 10.4 installer again.  This 
time select "repair a broken system"
*  When you reach the menu with the different repair options (start a terminal 
session, ..., install grub, ...) choose install grub and enter your fakeraid 
device....  /dev/mapper/isw_XXXXXXX_XXXX  (the one with no number at the end..)
*  Remove the installer and restart the server
*  Enjoy 10.4 LTS on FakeRaid...   ;-)
