Description of problem:
Can install Red Hat 7.1 no problem on disk server running dual 3-ware 7850 
cards, if stripe sets on each card are not striped together in software. 
However, as soon as the two arrays are striped together via "make RAID device" 
install is aborted with a traceback message.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run "Linux dd" install mode
2.apply latest 3-ware drivers
3.setup partitions, finish specifying install options
4.Install will commence, the striped RAID partitions will commence formatting, 
then install crashes.

Does this still happen in 7.2?  This code was rewritten.
