Okay please step by step. I simplified the partitions a little bit so that I would have only one mdadm RAID /dev/md0 for root without a separate /home partition.
After manipulating with gparted fdisk -l gives me this now>
Code:
mint@mint ~ $ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 16.0 GB, 16001269760 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1945 cylinders, total 31252480 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

So my next step in this case would be:
Code:
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --chunk=4 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb1
And right after I should be able to run the installation? I would choose manual installation and put md0 as root mounting point. I leave everything else alone except that i choose /dev/sda as 'device for boot loader' installation and that's it ?
..continued:
Code:
mdadm: /dev/sda2 appears to contain an ext2fs file system
size=10969088K mtime=Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970
mdadm: /dev/sdb1 appears to contain an ext2fs file system
size=10969088K mtime=Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970
Continue creating array? y
mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata
mdadm: array /dev/md0 started.
