FC6 X86_64 install failure(RAID)

I'm having issues with anaconda trying to install on a K8N-DL dual
opteron box with 2 SATA disks.

Under FC5 I was able to configure two disks as a S/W Raid 1 and all was
good.  Under FC6 anaconda refuses to allow me install a S/W Raid 1 and
forces me to try to install using the H/W Raid Controllers I have
on-board even though I haven't set up a Raid set on the controllers.

When I enter installer, I am forced to use /dev/mpath/XXX where XXX is
the H/W raid device.  I cannot try and use /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and
they are not presented to me as valid devices.

In addition, if I do setup a H/W Raid 1, anaconda detonates when trying
to build the LVM partitions and the file systems prior to executing the
package installs.

This issue is being maintained under
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213738

Any ideas on how to force anaconda to allow me to install a S/W raid 1?

Sean
