I found two problems. The first is that at the time when the installer was installing the kernel (82% in the progress bar) it seemed that it wasn't able to create the initrd and it looped calling mkinitrd until all the file descriptor were exausted.
After removing the raid controller and attaching the disks to the motherboard I could install the whole system but I had a problem while trying to install the bootloader. It seems that the installer isn't able to install lio on xfs when xfs is on a md device. I had to boot a noppix and install it myself. Being an xfs fan, I know that some time ago there were problems with lilo, xfs and raid, but now it is fully sopported by xfs. I'm giving a llok around to the sources to see if it really is a bug. Is there anyone working on it? I could help fixing this.
