This problem is still here in installing Fedora 13 Beta LiveCD.  I get to the
anaconda installer to install to hard drive and when I get to start selecting
what storage i'm going to be using then select next.  It gives me an error,
trace attached.  I check the modules loaded with lsmod and get: 
...
raid10                 19948  0 
raid456                62980  0 
async_raid6_recov       5762  1 raid456
async_pq                4605  2 raid456,async_raid6_recov
raid6_pq               78519  2 async_raid6_recov,async_pq
async_xor               3503  3 raid456,async_raid6_recov,async_pq
xor                     4528  1 async_xor
async_memcpy            2045  2 raid456,async_raid6_recov
async_tx                2626  5
raid456,async_raid6_recov,async_pq,async_xor,async_memcpy
raid1                  20281  0 
raid0                   6006  0 
...
Then I checked if my raid is active:
[root@localhost liveuser]# dmraid -ay
ERROR: device-mapper target type "raid45" is not in the kernel
RAID set "isw_dgchhijicb_MADHAT" was not activated
ERROR: device "isw_dgchhijicb_MADHAT" could not be found

I found this weird, is it trying to access an out dated kernel module or is
there another problem.

This is what I'm trying to do.  Just bought a new computer and got 6x1TB hard
drives for a large RAID5 setup.  I read somewhere that linux (as well thought
Fedora), would support Intel FakeRAID technology.  Set up the the RAID in BIOS
and tried to install Fedora.  And ran into the problem above.  Got rid of the
RAID and still ran into the problem above but I think that is part of another
bug 533703.

Hardware:
Asus P7P55D-E Deleuxe
6x1TB WD Black 32MB Cashe (so 512B Sectors)
