     A couple of things. First you should not update from 8.04 to 10.4. 
I think that is to big a jump. Also that is why you have GRUB and not 
GRUB2. Then to make matters even worse you have a RAID array which has 
been a problem on 10.04. I suggest you search for the RAID bugs on the 
Ubuntu main page and also consider if you can load 10.04 from the LiveCD 
and update and then get your HOME from 8.04 copied to your 10.04 now :-)
