(Get the code!)
I wanted to install the 8.10 beta with the alternative install CD.
I'm using a Asus P5B as my motherboard and have two (SATA) HDDs. All "hardware" RAID options in my BIOS are turned off.
I was not able to install Ubuntu on only one HDD with the text installer. Also I was not able to setup a software RAID-1 with mdadm during the installtion. The options to setup a software RAID appeared but I was not able to setup a RAID-1 with mdadm as it was possible in earlier releases.
The setup detects my 2 HDDs as one drive. This, I think, is because dmraid merges the 2 HDDs to one "virtual" drive.
I can't see any option to deactivate dmraid.
I see a big problem here when installing Ubuntu to a system with 2 HDDs. The content of both disk will be deleted even if you want to make changes to only one disk.
