Got the same issue using ubuntu-10.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso. I run a MD
RAID for the root but have a small ext2 partition at the start of the
first drive for /boot.

Was the fix in 10.04? If it was then it did not work for me.

I recovered by live booting a CD, installing mdadm, assembling the RAID,
mounting all the partitions, chroot'ing into the fresh install and then
running grub install (see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2
via LiveCD)
