The link you provided is for CentOS 5.0 and GPT, and you are installing CentOS 6.2. I read somewhere that CentOS 6.x creates/supports GPT tables if Disk is larger then 2TB.
- Have you initialized that RAID with MSDOS partition (manually or with
older/different distro) or was it by CentOS 6.2 installation DVD?
- What happens if you initialize RAID with GPT?
Ljubomir,
The installation program definitely does not seem to prompt you and offer you an opportunity to initialize the disk with any disk table format.

Yeah, I just read a thread about it in this mailing list: On 04/18/2012 10:18 AM, John R Pierce wrote:
do I need to preboot into a shell or something and use parted before I can install ?
I use a bootable CD with gparted to create the GPT partition table and the partitions.
After this, I can boot CentOS and install on the created partitions.
