Alternate installer fails to install LILO with RAID1 and LVM over RAID5

Hi,

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 using the Alternate x86 CD and it fails near the end of the install with:

Here is what I've posted on the forums: (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=624739)

I'm making a media server with three 500GB SATA disks in it.
Using Ubuntu 7.10 Alternate x86 CD, it fails when installing the LILO bootloader at the end of the installation. I can skip the LILO installation after it fails but I just end up with GRUB Error 15 (?)

Here is what I'm doing:

Physical drives:

/dev/sda
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdc

Partitioned:

/dev/sda1 - 50MB Bootable RAID (primary, beginning)
/dev/sdb1 - 50MB Bootable RAID (primary, beginning)
/dev/sdc1 - 50MB Bootable RAID (primary, beginning)
/dev/sda2 - ~500GB RAID (primary)
/dev/sdb2 - ~500GB RAID (primary)
/dev/sdc2 - ~500GB RAID (primary)

RAID config:

/dev/md0 - RAID1 (/dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1) - ext2, mount as '/boot'
/dev/md1 - RAID5 (/dev/sda2, /dev/sdb2, /dev/sdc2) - LVM

LVM Config:

/dev/vg0 - LVM VG (/dev/md1)

/dev/vg0/root - 5GB XFS, mount as '/'
/dev/vg0/home - 20GB XFS, mount as '/home'
/dev/vg0/media - ~1TB XFS, mount as '/media'
/dev/vg0/swap - 4GB swap, mount as swap

Everything goes smoothly until just after all the packages have been installed.
It pops up a window asking where to install LILO (because GRUB can't do this, yes?).
This windows has two options:

/dev/md1
Manual

I select Manual and choose:

/dev/md0 (The bootable 50MB RAID1 array containing /boot)

This fails, and the installation is snafu.

Since then I've also tried:

One primary (/dev/sd<a,b,c>1) and one logical (/dev/sd<a,b,c>5) per drive (failed)
Creating /dev/md0 with 2 active and 1 spare partition (installing as we speak, not holding out much hope)

I'm also having problems clearing down the hard disks so that there is no stuff left over from the last install attempt on it.
It always seems to re-detect old RAID devices or complain about the PC having to be reset before you do anything.

So:
1) Is this install possible?
2) If so, what am I doing wrong?
3) How can I easily restore the hard disks to there initial blank state to make testing easier?

Thanks!

Jim.
