There is some package somewhere that fs (i think) pointed out to me for having
mdadm do bios-bios stuff, maybe we could add this to make d-i play nice with
bios raid and windows partitions in this setup. bios raid is especially
important if you want to boot from the disk :). i think it was a redhat
package or patch or something.

This seriously smells like bad hardware, do you have heatsink problem, bad
memory or problematic SATA cables ?

I got the asus a8v deluxe, with via dual channel and promise raid onboard. I
got no major problem during the install (of ubuntu-amd64 though), except the
bios-raid thingy, but as i had only one disk anyway ...
