But why do you have a usb stick in your machine at install time? You said you were PXE booting so you aren't using it for the installation image. Try installing without it since it would just be adding noise to the problem. For me my raided sata disks show up as sda and sdb. I think the answer to your question lies in what is different about your setup here that your raid disks are not sda and sdb. > - now it boots, but ends up at a grub prompt on the (remote) console You are using a remote console?
