Comments/Problems:

The install went smoothly until I attempted to use the partitioner.  My Promise 
IDE controller that uses the pdc202x_new driver was detected automatically and 
correctly, much to my surprise.

The disk partitioner failed to detect arrays created by mdadm before the installation.  In the emergency shell, I was 
unable to persuade mdadm to assemble my arrays.  I believe that to have been user error.  Inexplicably, the LVM menu 
detected and "activated" my LVM2 volume group, although its volumes were not usable.  vg0-lvol0, it detected 
the size correctly and showed pre-existing XFS filesystem. vg0-lvol1 was displayed on the parted menu, but there were 
no partition entries under the device.  vg0-lvol1's size was listed as "0B0," that is, zero-bee-zero.  
Lastly, while the partition editor was "detecting filesystems," it gave me the error "could not create 
disklabel" when no changes were supposed to be written to disk.
