Comment 68 for bug 22107

I was unable to install Ubuntu-8.04.1 LTS server i386 on an ASUS A7V600 with on-board Via fakeraid. I found this bug report, and attempted to install the today snapshot intrepid-alternate-i386.iso. This one installs fine. The fakeraid array is detected properly.

However, I wanted to install the server version, so I downloaded intrepid-server-i386.iso as well. This one also detects the raid array properly, and the installation begins, but then it fails with a red background complaining it cannot install the base system. On console F4 the last message is that it cannot find dmraid. Needless to say its impossible to continue the installation from this point on.

I have repeated this using a 2 disk RAID-1 array twice, and a 2 disk RAID-0 array also twice. Both fail consistently. I have then tried to install this server version on a single disk (non-raid), and this one succeeds.

Could it be that the solution for the desktop version is not implemented or not properly implemented for the intrepid server (alpha) edition yet?
