Installing Ubuntu on SATA RAID 0

[Phillip Susi]

What exactly do you mean it doesn't work?  "Doesn't work" is not a very 
good error description to go on ;)

As for raid drivers, that's kind of a misnomer in the case of fakeraid. 
  The controller is really just a regular IDE controller with some 
special BIOS and a proprietary windows driver that performs the raid 
functions.  Under linux it should be supported by a driver built on 
libata, only raid does not enter the picture.  More likely than not, 
this will work right out of the box with ubuntu.  The driver treats the 
controller as the normal IDE controller that it is, and so it provides 
access to the individual drives, not the raid volume.  For the raid 
access you need the kernel mapper device, which dmraid configures.
