I just encountered this issue with ubiquity - couldn't install latest
ubuntu on my fakeraid raid0 array. Pretty bad user experience, disk
manager took _very_ long time to load (judging by dmesg, kernel is
trying to mount tons of different fs types), didn't detect RAID0,
display showed 2 RAID HDDs as empty space. When I choose to quit the
setup, expecting a quick reboot, ubiquity or X exiting got stuck on the
X wallpaper. After waiting for a while, I hit the reset button, then
upon reboot RAID bios on the ICH10R southbridge detected a spurious raid
array in failed state which didn't previously exist together with my
normal one which was luckily working. Phew.. After power off / power on
cycle, that failed array dissapeared, and everything was back at normal.
I'm going to also report aforementioned 2 additional encountered bugs to
a separate bug reports..

Will try Advanced CD method for fakeRAID ubuntu install next, hopefully
my data doesn't get wrecked.

In short, installing ubuntu was a thriller. Lets see if the second part
has happy ending. x_x
