Setup Ubuntu Server 12.04 on Lenovo S10 Thinkstation

Environment:
- Lenovo S10 Thinkstation
- Intel Matrix Storage RAID 1 : 500G HDD x 2
- Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS

Problem:  During the installation, in the step for installing GRUB on master boot record.  It prompts for a dev like /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, ... and gave a default /dev/mapper.  What should be the right dev?

Solution:  /dev/mapper/isw_beajfgdjeh_LENOVO   
This volumn name should appear in the previous step.  So, keep this for GRUB.

Intel Matrix RAID is consider to be not stable for production use.  Use RAID controller instead for production.
