see the mail below

yes, i confused Adam and Richard because both @redhat.com
and both spoke about Kickstart, and this message
below is as clear as it can be and matches 100% to my
answer - my reply to the wrong person was the result
of reply not instantly and try to wait what happens

I had similar problems trying to set up a basic RAID 1 (not /boot)
guest.  I found Anaconda is full of bugs and wierdness once you stray
into the custom partitioning code.

Apparently kickstart is a better way to do this.

Perhaps, like Ubuntu's installer, the graphical part of Anaconda
should concentrate on doing the simple stuff, and leave everything
else to kickstart non-graphical installations.
