I was able to get around it. But used only 3 of the 6 drives in the
system. Disabled the onboard RAID and used SoftRAID via Ubuntu 14.04
Server, then went with Xubuntu-desktop (for minimalistic aesthetics).
Booted install with NODMRAID option and answered No when asked to
Activate onBoard SA
For fakeraid, you need to install grub to the raid device rather than
one of the component disks. That is to say, /dev/mapper/nvidia_cedbaadh
( though you also appear to have a pdc controller fakeraid, which is odd
).
