I had a previous install of Debian 501 which I had created a RAID5 array among three 500GB disks.  I also had a 400GB disk that I was using for the system disk.  To create this bug, I was able to boot with a Fedora 11 LiveCD and click the installer icon.  It asked me about my locale and then when searching for disks, it generated this bug.  Hope this helps anyone.  I was just testing the Fedora install and it looks like it may have a ways to go before it will work with my hardware.  Either that, or I need to just format all disks first.
Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2009-07-28 14:47:41 UTC 
Are you using partitioned RAID devices?  It looks like it to me.  If so, that's your problem.  anaconda does not currently support partitioned RAID devices though we are investigating what will be required to make it work.
Comment 4 dpaschal 2009-07-28 15:38:26 UTC 
I am.  I would hope it would detect the disks and then just let you format them.  It looks like I need to go in with another live disk of some sort and delete the partitions and then run Anaconda again.
