Description Gerry Reno 2009-05-04 06:16:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
Having some problems with F11 (preview) and anaconda.
1. There is no selection for 'upgrade'.  Tried going from F10 to F11.  No upgrade selection.
2. On our machines with multiple RAID and multiple LVM, the druid always gets the existing disk partitioning layout wrong.  It totally lost three of our Volume Groups.  This is when selecting Custom Setup at the partitoning screen.
3. When trying Rescue mode, we get a similar problem with our machines with multiple RAID and multiple LVM.  It cannot find any Linux partitions.  Once it puts me in a shell I can can slowly work up to where I get the whole RAID and LVM setup assembled and mounted.  But anaconda seems unable to do this.

Check the program.log.  It's trying to assemble the arrays using bad names.
Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 15:06:08 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Is this still a problem in the final release of F11?

Andy,
  I'm swamped at the moment and haven't had time to test it yet.  I'll try to get this next week.
