F7-T4 Install Woes (LVM, RAID, grub)

[Brian Hanks]

   --I have BZ'd several software raid and LV issues over the months,  
but they get pretty --much ignored as not reproducible.  See earlier  
post this list about problems "FC7T4 Not --Seeing Pre-existing  
software raid arrays"  Seems that you must go to console 2 prior to  
--setting up your partitions and make sure your raid arrays and LVs  
are there and active.  --Then allow anaconda to move to the  
partitioning phase and use custom configuration.  I --first noticed  
problems with raid arrays and LVs during FC6Test days and they  
continue --with the change to using the SCSI interface for all disk  
detection and enumeration.

   I hear you, they do seem to get ignored.  The truly frustrating  
part to me is that features that were working in RH9 (and before) are  
now showing up as broken, and they don't seem to get much attention.   
I admit that I don't have as much time to devote as I did in the old  
days, but I still try to do my part.  Seems to me that we need to  
focus a little more effort on regression testing.  Progress isn't  
progress unless all of the pre-existing features still work.  I face  
this every day in my work, and we spend a significant amount of time  
regression testing to ensure that our releases don't impact the  
customer.  I had to wait until the FC6 Re-Spin before I managed to get  
FC6 working, and now F7 is shaping up to be the same thing.
