Where are you placing the ghost image?  Are you doing a Ghostcast, or
booting with a network boot disk and mapping a drive to it to save the
image?  Also, what is the error message you do get when it fails?

I'm running into a problem ghosting my 2003 servers.  Ghost keeps failing.
It either locks up when I am trying to create the image or if it does create
the image, ghost tells me it is corrupt when I try to restore it.  I spoke
with Symantec and they told that they do not support Ghost on RAID and that
I have to buy a PowerQuest product instead.  The system I am trying to ghost
is a Dell 1750 with a Perc 4/Di controller.   Any suggestions on how to
tweak ghost to make it work?

Just wondering that... 

Stop IMA, play reg entry games, Run Sysprep, image, push image boot, go
through server name/IP motions. Boot and start IMA. Life is good.

The CHFARM I use when I have one image I use for multiple farms but you can
use it the way greg does too.

Why did you boot from the 2003 CD and repair the installation?  I haven't
had to do this.  Also, what hardware is this running on?

did it with mine.  Worked great.

installed first server and got it set.  used chfarm and put it in a = dummy
farm.

made an image of that server.=20

Ghosted it to the new server.  Booted it form the Windows 2003 CD and =
chose to install then repair.   Once that was done I ran newsid and =
changed the name.  Plugged it back into the network.  Joined it to the =
domain and then used chfarm to join my existing farm.

Everything went smooth.
