I want to make sure this gets seen by anyone with a 64 bit system with RAID that has boot failures trying to install 9.10.

AMD 64 system with serial RAID (2 500gb Samsung HDs for me)

1. Use the alternate install CD for AMD 64 !!!!!

2. Choose F6 from install menu and choose nodmraid option.

3. When asked if you want to activate RAID, choose NO.

4. I used the "guided partition - use entire disk option. It correctly identified my 2 500gb hard drives.

5. Finish install normally and reboot. Mine worked flawlessly doing this when no other install would allow my machine to boot up.

I do hope this helps even one other person, finding this answer took awhile and a lot of frustration.
