Description of problem: Boot Fedora 22 KDE x86_64 live spin, select Install to disk. Also happens with the Fedora 22 Workstation x86_64 image. System has 2 disks, each with two soft RAID partitions: first is 500M, second is rest of disk. The first two are mirrored for /boot, the second two are mirrord for LVM. System has Fedora 21 installed. After the error occurs, if you continue through the installation to the disk partitioning, select both disks and "I will configure the disk", it does not see any of the existing filesystems - neither the /boot mirror or the filesystems in the mirrored LVM volume. If I open up a konsole window and do a "mdadm --assemble --scan" and then "lvm vgscan", then refresh the disks in the installer, I can see the filesystems in the mirrored volme group, but not the mirrored filesystem for /boot, so I haven't gotten any farther with the install. Fedora 21 live media work fine. I got similar results on a different machine where the disks were partitioned the same way.

Same problem here. Fedora 21 2 disks raid 1 lvm Boot live media, select install to disk. Looks as if this has never been tested on physical machines. Are tests, if any, only conducted on virtual machines? Is there a work around or new spin of media?
With the final F22 Workstation installation image (x86, 64 bit) I've the same problem for my existing F21 installation based on regular software RAID-1 (md*). When I boot the Workstation image (USB stick) and select "Install to Harddisk", first some mysterious crash occurs (Oops...) but eventually the Installer starts up. Unfortunately, when selecting the destination devices, no software RAID devices (md*) from my existing F21 installation will show up. So there's nothing I can install F22 on. There's no hardware-based RAID involved or any motherboard RAID functions. Works fine with the Server Image. Looks similar to bug #1225184
Description of problem: Booted Fedora 22 x86 Workstation DVD (freshly burned from .iso). Used menu "Troubleshoot"->"Check media and boot Fedora". Media check OK; booted OS and brought up GUI. Chose "Install to Hard Disk". Received on-screen message "Oops. Something has failed." and asked me to send in the report. Rest of OS continued to work, allowing me to send in this report from the failing machine. Hardware is a NetGear ReadyNAS 6-disk box with so-called "Flame-6" motherboard.

This bug can be reproduced on a VirtualBox with fc21 and two disk in raid1 Conclusion NO test was done nor on real hardware, nor on virtual hardware. Effectively it is IMPOSSIBLE to install fc22 nor via live nor via net media. FC22 is released too soon. Installers did not reach pre alpha quality.
I believe this issue is addressed in 4.1-rc7. If we could spin install media with that kernel, we would know for sure.

The rawhide nightlies are probably the only media that will contain the patch until F23 Alpha is released. If I'm not mistaken though, this should be fixed in the 4.0.5 update as I backported the patch via bug 1226621
Don't know about LVM, but for installation of Fedora 22 to existing MDRAID volumes, the F22 Server (!) image can be used as a workaround. For some reason the F22 Server edition doesn't trigger that bug and MDRAID volumes are properly detected. After the installation is done, there are no issues with MDRAID. Seems to be a bug for only the F22 Workstation/Live image. With the F22 Server ISO, a Minimal Installation can be performed, and after the system is ready, use dnf to install the "Fedora Workstation" packages group. The resulting system comes pretty close to an installation from the (broken) F22 Workstation/Live image. There's a difference of about 100 packages to a real F22 Workstation/Live installation but nothing dramatic.
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 22 kernel bugs. Fedora 22 has now been rebased to 4.2.3-200.fc22. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 23, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 23. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
The crashes have gone, but Fedora 23 (official) Live image still doesn't recognize Software RAID devices properly, so installation fails. Fedora 22 + 23 are both not suitable for systems with Software RAID. Has the support for Software RAID been dropped officially?
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
