10.04.1 was just released this week. Setting up a dual-boot FakeRAID was
effortless
1. Configured RAID array in BIOS named STRIPE
2. Created a partition on the array and installed Windows 7
3. Booted 10.04.1 live CD, chose to test drive Ubuntu, began installer, and
partitioned remaining space
4.
Is there a respin of 10.04 that will see, use, and install on a software
raid? Though I would prefer UBUNTU 10.04, I spent far too much time
researching and working on this problem to no avail and ended up
migrating to Fedora 13 which, I gotta say, set up on the raid like a
duck takes to water.
Forgot the environment info...

CPU: AMD Athlon X2 240

@Dale Kuhn: You can create RAID-Arrays like the Intel-Raid Matrix, but

Folks:
Phillip's fix seems to work, but now I cannot boot either Windows 7 or Ubuntu
