One concern I have about softraid is that there's (AFAICT) no RAID

We use dapper and breezy on nearly all of our servers where we get the
decision (thats 10s a week). Our base Xen dom0 server is software raid 1
/boot and software raid 1 LVM, with 2gb /root VG for the dom0. The rest
of the raid 1 is for lvm to allocate to domU machines. It works fine.
The installer is fiddly to get to that situation, and in breezy there is
a few strangenesses, but dapper seems fine with it all. We even adapted
the dapper server cd to do all that automatically from a boot cd, and it
works great. netinstall from 22mb iso with auto LVM and software RAID.
So saying it doesn't work is just plain crazy.
Anyway - that motherboard you have has got some issue. The onboard
nvidia chipset is crap, mostly because the reverse engineered forcedeth
drivers are seriously problematic. I have a few of those boards in
servers, and have ended up with different network cards in them.
I wouldn't combine LVM with softRAID either, but well, that's just
my opinion.
Why not?
lvm and software raid works fine here.
