Anaconda has to be able to detect existing RAID sets in order to perform upgrades. In order for Anaconda to present you with the existing sets, you must select an upgrade (in which case you won't see any partitioning stage) or you must use the graphical installer and select "Create custom layout". The text mode installer can no longer do this.
