ARC-12x4 series linux code are waiting to merge into kernel tree. debian, ubuntu or xubuntu has no such option to allow user load additional driver package while installation, so we have no driver disk for these linux distributions. You have to install the system into a separated drive, install new driver for 1224 support and clone this system drive to the array after installation completed.
