Hello everybody, I have a RAID1 setup with two disks and trying to
install XEN hypervisor on the RAID logical volume, but the install
wizard keeps asking me to select one of the available drives to install to.
Maybe it's a fake raid?

If so, you better don't trust it. MD (mdadm) would be at leas as fast, more reliable and much more standardized/documented.

If not, do you recommend me to install a linux distro between the
hardware and the hypervisor? Which distro would you recommend (the
lightest, fastest possible)
Whatever distro you use choose, it hardly would run faster or slower than another. Clearly, you can always get something slow, if your choice is exotic or the hardware is particularly limited.

The common choices are Debian or Ubuntu, CentOS or SuSE, pick the one most familiar to you. Or whatever distro you closest guru is using.

Note that OS does not goes between hardware and the hypervisor in Xen case. The hypervisor always goes between the hardware and OS, that is true for DomU case, and also for Dom0 case.
