Description Peter Bieringer 2013-09-28 17:05:52 UTC 
Description of problem:

anaconda silently ignores hard disk which is a possible dmraid member since FC18, while FC17 has a (very useful!) warning box.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC18, FC19, FC20-alpha

How reproducible:
- use a harddisk which was a former member of a dmraid

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot CD/DVD into installation setup

Actual results:
Having no local disk to install distribution

Expected results:
Warning box like in FC17


Additional info:

to clear obsolete dmraid information I'm using

dmraid -an
dmraid -x
Comment 1 r 2013-09-30 07:08:20 UTC 
workaround is use dmraid command to remove the BIOS RAID metadata.
dmraid -r -E /dev/sdc
Do you really want to erase “sil” ondisk metadata on /dev/sdc ? [y/n] :y
after reboot anaconda see /dev/sdc disk.

Please attach the logs from  /tmp/*log as individual text/plain attachments.
Comment 3 Peter Bieringer 2014-06-11 04:25:53 UTC 
Sorry, had no chance to provide requested logs so far. In case I found a harddrive in the future which was a former BIOS dmraid member, I will update the case.
