Comment 2 Alexander Todorov 2012-04-05 08:15:20 UTC 
My ks.cfg is:

clearpart --all --initlabel 
# Disk partitioning information
part biosboot --fstype="biosboot" --size=1
part /boot --asprimary --fstype="ext3" --size=200 --label=BOOT
part swap --fstype="swap" --recommended --label=SWAP
part /multi-stage --fstype="ext3" --size=100 --label=MULTISTAGE
part raid.01 --grow --size=2048
part raid.02 --grow --size=2048
raid / --device=0 --fstype="ext3" --level=RAID0 raid.01 raid.02



Notice the --grow for RAID members. I wanted to check if RHEL7 will allow it (I think not). The bug however doesn't seem related to this.

Can you try with the more recent images?  We've had a fair amount of churn.
