I noticed that noone replied to this message or to any of the bugreports 
regarding the installer. That means wheezy isn't going to be able to be 
installed on Intel Matrix Raid - too bad, debian would have been the 
first distribution to have that capability (with the mdraid driver, that 
is) - and the patches are quite trivial.

What did I do wrong, and what is it going to take to get this into wheezy+1?

Thanks
