Comments/Problems:
The install went smoothly until I attempted to use the partitioner. My Promise IDE controller that uses the pdc202x_new driver was detected automatically and correctly, much to my surprise.
The disk partitioner failed to detect arrays created by mdadm before the installation. In the emergency shell, I was unable to persuade mdadm to assemble my arrays. I believe that to have been user error. Inexplicably, the LVM menu detected and "activated" my LVM2 volume group, although its volumes were not usable. vg0-lvol0, it detected the size correctly and showed pre-existing XFS filesystem. vg0-lvol1 was displayed on the parted menu, but there were no partition entries under the device. vg0-lvol1's size was listed as "0B0," that is, zero-bee-zero. Lastly, while the partition editor was "detecting filesystems," it gave me the error "could not create disklabel" when no changes were supposed to be written to disk.
