Argh sorry for the re-postings, I got it going again (still RAID 0 w/2 500GB WD drives). Two things I realized:

1> On Asus's website, it does list something about Seagate drives not showing during booting. Now my 1.5TB did show, but it mentions about some firmware change in their new drives can cause issues for SATA-II interfaces or something.

2> The bigger issue.. so the RAID 0 is working, but with the two SATA-II drives connected, and the raid constructed to be 1TB, when I get to the partition option in 9.04 it doesn't show the one TB RAID 0 setup, but it's detecting and showing *BOTH* 500 GB drives!

[x] Use the entire disk
.....[x] SCSI (0,0,0) (sda) - 500.1 GB ATA WDC etc....
.....[ ] SCSI (0,0,0) (sdb) - 500.1 GB ATA WDC etc...
[ ] Specify partitions manually (advanced)

I'm guessing maybe the BIOS/Chipset/etc may have a flaw? Or Ubuntu is seeing right past the on board RAID controller somehow?!
