F9 installation issues

I've had a good number of problems when installing F9 in partitioning 
scenarios that are more than just very simple one drive setups.

So I ran a series of tests today and put some results in a bug that I 
have opened on these problems: 

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443451

For example, I have yet to get anaconda/druid to properly install using 
any type of RAID setup.  Even a very simple, 2 drive setup fails. 
I can get the software to install but anaconda cannot seem to install 
the bootloader correctly so I either see GRUB or grub> after the Reboot.

And in more complex scenario like using LVM over RAID (which I use all 
the time), anaconda gets a whole bunch of Unhandled Exceptions.

These things should be fixed before the F9 final release.  F9 needs to 
be able to handle all the RAIDed systems out there and right now it
won't be able to do that.
