A patch fixing this is here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2010-March/msg00024.html

I would like to get this into anaconda for beta1 if still possible.

Hans, I remember we added a parameter - 'noismwraid' or something like that - to F12 live because of the original incarnation of this bug. Should that stay or be removed for F13?

We added that to the livecd default cmdline because of bug 537329, which unfortunately is still open. Perhaps we should make bug 537329 a F13Blocker ?

Anyways this bug is completely unrelated, and the patch for it completely fixes it without requiring any workarounds.
Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2010-03-13 19:48:18 UTC 
well, it's already f13target. I don't think it's quite a blocker - same as it wasn't for f12 - but it would certainly be great if you could fix it.

It is not up to me to fix it, either Notting needs to take my not very
pretty but working patch, or some serious mdadm surgery is needed, see the
bug for details, which is why I suggested making it a blocker, so that it
hopefully will get some attention.
Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2010-03-19 16:43:14 UTC 
Hans, for the purposes of the blocker review process, can you give us a bit more detail about what the actual bug is here, what's the scope of its impact, and who can test and confirm the fix? Thanks!

Actually this is fixed now, see comment #4. Something has gone wrong with
this bug not ending up in the bodhi ticket for the relevant update, and thus it not getting auto closed:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-13.35-1.fc13

Closing manually now.
