Bug 433658

Description of problem:
I have been trying to install rawhide with encryption on top of raid and have
been having some problems.
I was trying out the boot.iso from 2008-02-19 and it crashed after confirming
that I really wanted to install rawhide. I think this was because it couldn't
figure out what to do with partitions that were incompletely set up when I tried
using the alpha iso to do the install.
Then I tried booting in rescue mode so that I could use badblocks to overwrite
the partition table (I had to do this when using the alpha iso) and got prompted
for a password to the partitions (which shouldn't have been encrypted) and the
raid arrays. The pasword didn't seem to work. After skipping ahead (since I
didn't need to mount the filesystems) anaconda crashed without the option to
save state.
The error messgae was:
rootparts = ananconda.id.diskset.findExistingRootPartitions(upgradeany =
upgradeany)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py", line 775, in findExisting
RootPartitions
except SystemError, (errno, msg):
ValueError: need more than 1
value to unpack
install exited abnormally [1/1]

I am attaching the saved traceback from the install attempt (not the rescue
attempt).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I am not sure of the version built into the boot.iso.

How reproducible:
100% with the current hard drive contents, reproducing that might prove tricky.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use alpha.iso to try to install with encryption on top of raid.
2. Use boot.iso do to an install after the above step has failed.
3.
