Unfortunately the anaconda-ks.cfg in that config gave very little clue what was done, there are just 4 relevant lines which look like this #raid / --fstype=ext4 --level=1 --device=md0 raid.253001 raid.253065 Nothing usual, and make sense since I created the md arrays and ananconda simply used them without assembling them itself. The problem is I can't figure how to kickstart to the point where the mds arrays are created successfully. The command works in shell but somehow in the kickstart process, the created array disappears after ananconda does the "Examining storage device" thing.
