(raid2real_kind) fix displaying empty info about RAID devices

2012-04-20T18:22:19+00:00

we now display " (RAID level)" (eg: 'md0 (RAID1)')

(actually we were displaying "mdX" since two previous commits but all
released installers were displaying "")

(fs::partitioning_wizard::main) use newly introduced raid2real_kind() in

2012-04-20T18:22:13+00:00

order to get data about RAID devices, thus fixing:
- crashing on selecting a RAID device (calling first_usable_sector on
  undefined value in partition_table::get_normal_parts_and_holes())
- listing RAID devices

(bug introduced in commit r265764 pterjan by on Feb 4 2010:
"partitioning wizard: offer to install on dmraid and existing lvm")

sadly we trade "calling method on undefined value" for  "calling method
on unblessed reference" (see next commit)

(detect_during_install) stop all inactive raids before initializing RAIDs

2012-04-19T18:31:48+00:00

(thus fixing installer not offering to upgrade RAID installs)

rationale: udev starts raids early but fails because modules (especially
personality ones) are not yet loaded; thus raids remains inactive
("md: personality for level 1 is not loaded!")

regression introduced when swtiching to udev and including its rules

since it works smoothly with rescue, I suspect the cause is
in 60-persistent-storage.rules which is included in installer
but not in rescue

(_resolve_requested_and_check) fix a crash when package state is empty (mga#5487)

2012-04-19T18:31:40+00:00

When selecting where ro install bootloader, display mountpoint if available, and size+fs_type if we have nothing (mga#5460)
