I tested with nodmraid option and it made no difference. My kernel argument 
list:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/cmdline 
noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper 
initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash --  nodmraid

I tested with "nodmraid" before "--" and behavior was exactly the same.

This is buit in fake raid (so software only solution), I do not think they 
offer any BIOS level configuration, I checked and there is nothing I can do to 
set it up before my installation.
I also used single hard drive for the installation so it there is not much 
point in creating raid array on it.

Regardless of what the reson for this is I think that ubiquity should at
least point user into the right direction. My hardware is pretty
standard - nForce based motherboard with single hard drive. Less
technical users with similar PCs could just assume their hardware is not
supported if they cannot see hard drive.

I can replicate this every time so if anybody wants me to do more
testing I will be happy to help.
