Chris,

Thanks for the help!

Speaking of error messages - there _was_ an error message at the
beginning of the install-to-disk process; but I had ignored it since
it said something like 'problem found and corrected', or words to
that effect. (Wipes egg off face.)  When I booted the live install
again to get the data you requested, I payed more attention, and it
led me to BZ bug # 1225671, which seems highly apropos.

Fedora 20 installed with no problems from install iso.  I have
not tried F 20 live media; only reason I tried the live media
with F 22 was because that was what mostly is available.  Also
tried the F 22 server iso, which seemed to recognize and allow
me to select the LVM partitions, but then booted into grub rescue.

Have added the results you suggested to the bug.  There is no
output from mdadm /dev/md126 or -127.  There are no /dev/md*
entries.

Thanks again, and apologies for not paying attention to that error
message earlier.
