I have tryed to upgrade from FC4 -> FC5 using anaconda but it did not

It tryes to add a non raid partition to the array and ignores the raid

Is this a kernel or anaconda bug?

(no reply ...)
So I backuped my data dan tryed a reinstall and it detected the md0
array in diskdruid but showed "foreign" as filesystem..
did edit and set mount point to / and filesystem ext3
but it failed formating it with a messages saying that it failed and
that I should press enter to reboot the system.
What happend? How could such things happen with a *final* release? Raid
support seems broken and nobody has noticed.
I always updated my system from RH9->FC1->FC2->FC3->FC4 (then
reinstalled FC4 because of i386->x86_64) but it seems that upgrade is no
more possible to FC5 :(
I'd suggest you switch to console once Anaconda loads and mount the MD0
by hand.
It should give you a way to circumvent the bug.

I just deleted the raid and recreated it and now it seems to work fine.
(running FC5 with md raid now).
But the bug still needs to be fixed.
But I don't like to reinstall FC6 when its out upgrade from raid should
work as it did before FC5.
I assure you upgrades from FC4 to FC5 on systems with md software raids were
tested and all worked without issue. It isn't that raid support is broken and
nobody noticed. Not sure why the failure in your particular case, but I've
done several upgrades myself without incident. Without being able to
reproduce the problem, fixing whatever went wrong on your system may prove
difficult, if not impossible.
At least I have provided any possible infos that might help fixing the bug.
