Installing Ubuntu on SATA RAID 0

[Sean Hammond]

"Doesn't work" is the only error description I have at the moment. I asked
him exactly what happens but haven't found out yet.

Thanks for clarifying the RAID driver situation. I understand what's going
on now, he needs to use dmraid, and assuming all goes well can probably
follow the instructions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FakeRaidHowto, except
for this unknown error with the LiveCD. If I can get more info about the
error maybe we can make some more progress..
