I have Intel Hardware Raid on the motherboard.

I have 10 2 TB HDD that I've configured as RAID 1+0 to be one big 8 TB HDD.

Now I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on it.

After installing with default desktop installation disk I get a blank screen with a cursor flashing.

If I try the alternate guided partitioning option I get error: out of disk. and the grub> prompt.

If I boot with the rescue disk or such like I can drop into a shell and view the disk. Everything also installs without an issue.

Don't know what to do...
