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
