When you say softraid, you mean linux software raid, rather than bios
raid or hardware raid ?
Yes. Linux softraid.
Maybe it is related to:

No. I am not doing a kickstart install.
And I succesfully updated two other machines with F10 installed on Linux
softraid, to F11.
Something in Anaconda is failing to see the second and the third drive
on a machine with the first drive being an IDE drive, and the 2nd and
the 3rd drive being SCSI drives. It doesn't see the drives, but I can
flip over to the ALT-F2 shell, and run mdadm --assemble --scan. mdadm
ends up creating /dev/md125, /dev/md126, and /dev/md127 (!), rather than
/dev/md[012], but I can mount them manually and see my existing F10
partitions.
This sounds as if either the raid or scsi modules are not being loaded. My guess
would be the scsi modules, but if you haven't solved this yet, when you get
started, could you 'lsmod' and see if the scsi stuff is loaded before running
mdadm? mdadm is smart, they might be loaded on demand.
So, Anaconda is not even assembling my existing RAID arrays. I can
assemble them manually, but Anaconda does not see them.
