(Get the code!)
I want to reiterate that the original bug was reported against the
_alternate_ install cd. If i understand correctly, the alternate
install cd is required to install using any raid functionality. The
initramfs installed by the alternate cd included mdadm, which was
unexpectedly difficult to remove.
In my case, i had to use the livecd to rescue the system, since the
livecd did not (in my case) automatically load dmraid, allowing me to
manually mount my mdadm-generated root partition and modify the
freshly installed system.
A brief note as to *why* - I do not plan on reinstalling or altering
windows (other than to shrink partitions), and i need to use mdadm
under linux. I'm curious to hear evidence of configuration as
unstable.
thanks for all the feedback,
christian
