I am trying to install eve-ng bare metal on a server.
The device is quite simple, a E3-1200 Xeon with 32GB RAM, Intel S1200BTS, two disks RAID0 using the onboard ESRT2 RAID controller, tried one disk using AHCI also.
During setup it throws this error to me and I must cancel the installation. It does recognize the single disk however. With the RAID0 array it recognizes the two disks but not the RAID0 array itself. In either case the result is the same: Sorry, there was a problem completing the installation.
Any one knows what might be the cause? It should work out of the box with a single disk.

Thank you very much!

check if secure boot is enabled in bios if it is then disable it. Another thing you can try using the bare metal installation legacy method and disable LVM during the installation.

Poor lad I am. Have to put the whole server into mothballs. The Seasonic PSU was not the cheapest around.
Always the same thing with that crappy ubuntu linux trash, all those failed this failed that messages and eve-ng build on top of that. Uggh!

I have no such security boot option I'm sorry. The bare metal option was my goal and also tried the other option which is meant to be virtualized.
I wanted the bare metal perse for maximum performance.

What should I do now? This cannot be,...

you should try this BM Server Installation Ubuntu legacy ISO
