+&gt;<i> Hi
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Finally I've installed Mageia 2 on my home machine.
+</I>&gt;<i> There are a few problems.
+</I>&gt;<i> There it goes...
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Hardware:
+</I>&gt;<i> MB Asus P6T Deluxe V2
+</I>&gt;<i> Intel i7 950 CPU
+</I>&gt;<i> 12 GB of Corsair RAM
+</I>&gt;<i> nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX
+</I>&gt;<i> 4 HDs jbod
+</I>&gt;<i> 1 RAID 0 controlled by RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. Device 0242
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> 1 scenario
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I've tried to install with the full hardware configuration.
+</I>&gt;<i> No go.
+</I>&gt;<i> The installer made mistakes with the RAID 0. Both disks was listed at
+</I>&gt;<i> the partitioning step (not counting the /dev/mapper/... entry). I can't
+</I>&gt;<i> see why the individual disks was listed, since the array was recognized.
+</I>&gt;<i> Worst of all, the installer gives a message that can't format a swap
+</I>&gt;<i> partition at one of the RAID disks. It shouldn't. The RAID is windows
+</I>&gt;<i> and DON'T have a swap partition at all.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> 2 scenario
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Removed the RAID array and tried again.
+</I>&gt;<i> I was able to install Mageia 2 but not able to boot correctly after the
+</I>&gt;<i> install. Systemd messages of error and I could not deal with them.
+</I>&gt;<i> Since the fourth disk is a openSUSE 12.1 disk, I've tried to remove and
+</I>&gt;<i> install again without the disk.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> 3 scenario
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Installer did what was expected. No errors, boot ok, subsequent updates
+</I>&gt;<i> fine.
+</I>&gt;<i> Then I've reinstalled the Suse disk. No problems.
+</I>&gt;<i> Then I've reinstalled the RAID array.
+</I>&gt;<i> I was able to manually mount the Windows partition, but diskdrake is
+</I>&gt;<i> showing the individual disks again. The second disk of the array is
+</I>&gt;<i> completely crazy, showing 3 partitions (2 linux native and 1 swap).
+</I>&gt;<i> Since the array is working fine with windows, it CAN'T be right.
+</I>
+in short, your hardware RAID is a fake RAID. in linux it means that you have
+access to both the normal disks and the raid array.
+
+the reason for this is that the raid array is sort of a software raid wrapper
+in firmware, but it'll make your raid slower than it would in linux as a linux
+software RAID.
+
+that being said, likely systemd and installer will try to look and use
+whatever disks it can see, it likely doesn't know what the raid is looking
+like and so it likely tries to guess...
+
+that being said, i don't know much about this. i would advise you to file a bug
+report so the people who know about this sort of thing can answer you in the
+bug.
