Ubuntu 10.04 and RAID

[Diego Xirinachs]

Dear list,

I have a problem installing Ubuntu on an HP Proliant ML115. This server has
a 1TB mirrored RAID setup via the server BIOS, problem is, Ubuntu apparently
doesnt like it, it detects the RAID but fails to partition the hard drives
and the installtion cant continue. I tried the guided partitioning using the
whole disk (detected RAID array).

Here is what syslog gives me:

Any other info you need just ask, it is very urgent.

PS: Im very noob regarding this kind of stuff so detailed instructions please :D

Regards and thanks for the help.
