Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-19BETA installation dvd How reproducible: Tried two times, same issue happened Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start fresh installation on system with software raid array attached 2.

What you have is an mdarray comprised of a partition on each of sdb,sdc,sdd,sde named Stefan:3. What you did during disk selection was de-select sdb,sdc,sdd,sde, which means your raid array will not be visible since you've excluded the disks it resides on from the installation. The only disk modified in any way by the installer is sda (your SSD) since it is the only disk you selected to be used during installation. It does not appear to be the source of the installation media. It looks to me like sdf is the source for the installation media. Did it appear in the disk list?
Actually, it's my fault - I've just attempted to recreate the process. I've used CentOS CD to partition the SSD before installation with usb drive attached - this is where my disk got detached. Sorry for the bug report, my fault, should have not installed os late in the night :)
