Do you mean metadata from Intel matrix raid setup, or some remnants of 
metadata from software raid?

I had a working software raid on the disks, didn't wipe them, changed 
bios from SATA=AHCI to SATA=RAID, went into the bios raid config and 
created a split config 100GiB mirror plus 300GiB stripe

That seemed to be enough to blow away the old contents of the drives, 
grub didn't even load, machine tried to PXE boot, so I proceeded to 
install ...
