** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: dmraid
  
  I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1, but the installer do not
  detect the hard drive I have. In LiveCD mode I can see, mount and work
  with the partitions of my hard drive but the installer just don't see
  it...
  
  My motherboard is an MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR which has a Promise FastTrack
  376 SATA controller.
  
  I started to experience this problem back to Karmic which I have to
- install using the alternate cd...
+ install using the alternate cd... I found that this problem is related
+ with dmraid, and I have to uninstall dmraid to be able to install
+ Ubuntu. The raid mode of the drive is 0+1 Stripe, it's autoconfigured by
+ the fasttrack utility in performance mode.
  
- I found that this problem is related with dmraid, and I have to
- uninstall dmraid to be able to install Ubuntu.
+ Tried to boot with the 'nodmraid' option and it didn't work,
+ I remove the raid using the bios utility, but it didn't work,
+ then I erase the metadata using the -E swith of dmraid and It works, it shows 
up in ubiquity, and was able to install Ubuntu, BUT if the drive don't have the 
raid mode enable it refuses to boot... is really odd that the hdd needs to be 
in raid mode, but It's ok if works... It's more easy to simply uninstall dmraid 
(apt-get remove dmraid) to make it work. I can make more test and provide more 
info if needed.
