I have a similar thread in general help but thought I should change where it is.

The basic problem is i can't install ubuntu and i think its because i have RAID drivers any help?

Ok the guy that had it on said this but i don't understand where to start

Raid is not a problem but you have to use dmraid. Then you will see your raid over to /dev/mapper/ and you can use it to install it

I have done that before but i am not really in fond of raid 0 so i got rid of it. There should be a document somewhere arround ubuntu help that explains how to install in Raid 0 or fakeRaid.

I am not using ubuntu at all though. i just wanted to check if it had support at that time for my digital out in the soundcard that i did not have at gentoo.
Though i am kin to answer any question that you may have.
Try to find about what i mentionned before or get rid of the raid and go install normally. And dont forget to backup your recovery partition.

Cheers,
