Is this a software RAID? If so, where are you writing the MBR to?

Grub should install fine on a software RAID boot partition so long as
the MBR is written to a place your BIOS can get to (usually a physical
disk, ie. /dev/sda) and grub is properly configured for a software
RAID (loading necessary modules, etc).

Also, 10 GB for a boot partition is overkill IMO, and I also use ext2
FS for /boot. Ultimately, it's your server though ;-)

Good luck,
