Still having problems with UEFI + RAID0 stripped drives install

[C.F.Scheidecker Antunes]

Hello all,

This problem has been driving me crazy. I use Linux since 1993, did many
installs and the first time I did it I have succeed with 12.10. Then,
trying to upgrade to 13.04 I went and wipe the 2 HDs and create a new RAID0
volume so I would do it from scratch. I was never able to make it work
again.

Something simple which seems hard and is preventing me from using my new
Ubuntu notebook.

I was successful first installing this, but forgot the settings now I
cannot do it again.

I have an HP Envy DV7-7243Cl notebook which I have 2 1TB disks on it and
16GB of memory.

The secure boot is disabled, I have an UEFI system to it. All security keys
cleaned. The 2 hard drives are set to RAID0 stripping and I've got ride of
Windows.

If I create a new partition table with GParted, (I have tried both GPT and
MSDOS). Sticking to GPT now.

The install can recognize the EFI bios and sees the mapped volume0 which is
the total of both drives. 1.84TB as I have 2x1TB drives in this system.
Both HDs are identical.

With the install (both on 13.04 and 12.10) I create a 200mb EFI partition
in the begining.

Then, I do the install and add 32768mb for SWAP and the rest as EXT4 /.

I' ve place the GRUB boot loader on VOLUME0 which is the stripped volume
which is what I did when it worked the first time.

Well, now nothing works.

Hence, my questions are:

- Where shall I install GRUB? I did volume0 and then even tried the EFI
partiion without success. The fakeRAID volume should be the default.

I have also tried boot-repair with all different settings I describe above
and in no time it worked.

I wonder if I have to do something special as it has a software RAID0, that
is a RAID0 controlled by the UEFI system via software not hardware.

Eventually my goal is to install 13.04.
