When booted from any install media, in a shell, what do you get for:
cat /proc/mdstat
mdadm -D /dev/md126
mdadm -E /dev/sd[ab]

>From the program.log, I'm seeing sd[ab]5 are bcache partitions, and
looks like they're outside of the imsm container, is that correct? I
don't know whether this is a supportedlayout, my expectation when
using firmware RAID is that the firmware (and later the md driver)
asserts complete control over the entire block device. Any partitions
are created within the container. If that's correct, the bcache
partitions would need to be inside the imsm container as well. But in
any case the installer shouldn't crash, it should inform. The version
of mdadm in F21 is the same for three months, so if there's a
regression here it's not recent.
