Once again Ubuntu 10.10 has came to my rescue. By now installing Ubuntu on a raid 0 setup should not be a tough task. But it still is.
The newer revisions of Ubuntu are lacking something that exists in 10.10 when it comes to RAID.
The only way I can ever install a 64 bit version of Ubuntu is to firstly install 10.10: it picks up my raid volume in a different way to 12.04 and secondly - but certainly not least - is that fact this 10.10 is the only version that allows me to install grub without issue. It installs it straight onto sda, which is where it should be. However, with 12.04 only sdb is an option, or trying to install it onto one of those horrible mappers.
I just wish they would make it so installing new revisions of Ubuntu onto RAID 0 would not be an issue; I now have to install all upgrades 11.04 > 11.10 to 12.04.
And as for using an Alternate version to set up my partitions? You can forget it: every single one of those ISOs I have downloaded/redownloaded have failed on the installing software section. I only once managed to do it by some miracle at my other location's PC.
So long as installing 10.10 first and upgrading does not make a total mess of packages I am not so bothered.
