Installing Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS on HP Proliant Microserver Gen8 G1610T?

Should make some clear clarifications here.

.  Bottom line is Ubuntu 14.04 with the HP Smart Array contoller don't work together so you have to use the Ubuntu software Raid.

 The "B" series of HP Dynamic Smart Array controllers require a closed source driver (hpvsa and hpdsa) that is only supported with Red Hat and SUSE.  There were a few releases of these drivers for Ubuntu, but these are no longer recomended. Systems using 'B" series controllers should be used in AHCI mode.

The "P" series Smart Array controllers use the hpsa driver which is open source that is included in the main kerenl tree and picked up by pretty much every distribution.  "P" series controllers work fine with Ubuntu.
