It's impossible that it's looking for the CD, I've installed same ubuntu in the exact way on my netbook and it actually worked without any problems.
I haven't heard of problems with raid 5 (but I don't know a lot about raids either. But I know e.g. 1+0 is a problem though.)
Can you boot a live CD and run the bootinfoscript? That will give us a better idea about how Ubuntu is seeing your drive.
Also, if you want to, hit Esc... when it gives the countdown. Then from a grub prompt (hit 'C' to get there), enter:
That will list your drives and partitions. e.g. drive: (hd0), partition: (hd0,1) etc. Maybe it will look like (hd0,msdos1), or ('dev/sda',msdos1) depending on the grub version.
Then you can look for the ISO:
Code:
ls (hd0,1)/ubuntu/install/installation.iso
I know it will be there, but it might indicate how grub sees the drive and add to the diagnostics from the bootinfoscript.
PS since you have a raid, maybe you'll see something different that (hd0,1).
PPS press Esc key to return from the grub prompt back to the grub menu.
