Thank you for the notes.  I followed them, but I'm still not having any 
luck installing.  I go to shell and create the arrays and create the 
config files, but when I switch back to anaconda, it doesn't detect 
/dev/md10, only /dev/md11 and /dev/md12.  I can't create another raid 
device in anaconda.  What am I doing wrong?  I tried setting up LVM when 
i first installed this, but it failed to boot.
