Testing Netinst AMD64 CD fails to create MD devices for RAID1

[Marc D Ronell <mronell@alumni.upenn.edu>]

There seems to be a bug  with software RAID1 in the 06/21/2011 version
of the  Testing Netinst  AMD64 CD image.   Separate partitions  can be
linked to create the md devices, but  then one or the other of the two
md devices fails after the  initial sync is attempted.  So the failure
is occurring before the resulting raid partitions are used.  They fail
without being formated, labeled, etc.  It is not possible to proceed
with the rest of the Debian installation.

I uploaded installation  log copies with the following  bug reports on
http://bugs.debian.org:

Bug#631331 installation-report
Bug#631338 installation-report

The hardware composition of the failing target machine is as follows:

   Motherboard
   ASUS P6X58D Premium
   P6X58D Premium Socket 1366 X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

   Intel Core i7-950 3.06 GHz

   Corsair Dominator 6GB DDR3-1600 

   Western Digital Black Caviar ATA WDC WD1002FAEX-0

Anyone have a good work around? 

Thanks,

Marc
