Hi all,

we use a custom layout in ks preinstall script

clearpart --all --initlabel
part raid.01 --ondisk hdb --size=... --asprimary part raid.02 --ondisk
hdb --size=... --asprimary part raid.03 --ondisk hdb --size=...
part raid.04 --ondisk hdb --size=...
part swap --ondisk hdb --size
part /data/data1 --ondisk hdb --asprimary --size 1 --grow --fstype=ext3
part raid.11 --ondisk hdc --size=... --asprimary part raid.12 --ondisk

After a test installation we want to make the final installation but we
get always the following error:

ValueError: md1 is already in mdList.

This is on a CentOS 5.1 installation.
I have try to add a:

os.system("mdadm -S /dev/md*")

But this wasn't th solution ;-(.

I have also try with --useexisting but in this stage there aren't any
md's?!

When I make a 'mdadm --detail -s' then I see only md1 not md0 on the
tty2.

Please can anybody help me :-)

The screenshots of the output are available under:
