How to install Ubuntu 20.04 in R240 / Installer has some error occured

Question

Hello. I recently purchased an R240 server and found Ubuntu 20.04 LTS included in the compatibility matrix.I downloaded the 20.04 live server iso image from the official website of the Ubuntu Foundation and tried to install it, but a kind of error occurs right after the hard disk formatting procedure. This is common to all os in the list below; Ubuntu 22.04 LTSUbuntu 20.04 LTSUbuntu 18.04 LTSCentOS Stream9CentOS 7 I have confirmed that the error occurs after the disk initialization process.I tried formatting directly in command line mode, and the error occurs at the same time as formatting. My R240 doesn't appear to have a separate RAID controller from what I've looked up on the Dell website. I have a SATA HDD that appears as RAID0. What steps can I take to install Ubuntu OS?

Hi @BlueMS,   Could you please try installing the OS after converting the disk to a Non-Raid disk.   https://dell.to/3XwUcAf.?guid=guid-a4de2c64-71cc-4282-b6bb-e9b07efc06a5&lang=en-us
