Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2012-03-26 17:48:28 UTC
Discussed at 2012-03-26 QA meeting acting as a blocker review meeting. Agreed that this is a blocker per criterion "The installer must be able to create and install to software, hardware or BIOS RAID-0, RAID-1 or RAID-5 partitions for anything except /boot".

This is caused by noloader not loading modules before starting Anaconda.

I was able to do a successful install onto SW Raid (VM w/ 2 virtio disks) with a custom boot.iso built with anaconda-17.15-1.fc17.

Not setting to verified because it wasn't an official image but it appears to be fixed.
