Bug Description
I have a new GA-M57SLI-S4 motherboard with AMD X64 5600+ dual core CPU and 2 350 GB SATA drives.
I tried to install both 7.10 (X64 version) and 8.04 (X64 version) onto the raid , but it would not install. (not very specific, but it just locked up somewhere)
I found SUSE 10.3 and 11.0 almost installed, but eventually I got tired of trying and wiped my windows XP off the SATA raid and started over, with XP installed in one partition and linux on a different one, with no RAID.
At that point I found the two versions of ubuntu still didn't install, apparently due to the NFORCE 570 chipset on the motherboard. I was able to get SUSE 10.3 installed.
I much prefer ubuntu to SUSE and have ubuntu running on several other computers and find it much easier to use than SUSE. However, I once again got bit buy buying almost the latest and greatest motherboard and cpu and chipset combo.
