/proc/mdstat for testing

This is my /proc/mdstat for testing double-digit md devices.

This is a bug report for Mandrake 9.1 Beta2.

The system the install was attempted on has the following software raid devices
(auto-detect):

/dev/md5 - RAID5
/dev/md6 - RAID5
/dev/md7 - RAID5
/dev/md8 - RAID5
/dev/md11 - RAID1; used in /dev/md13
/dev/md12 - RAID1; used in /dev/md13
/dev/md13 - RAID 1+0 (striping accross the md11 and md12 mirrors)
/dev/md14 - RAID1; used in /dev/md16
/dev/md15 - RAID1; used in /dev/md16
/dev/md16 - RAID 1+0 (striping accross the md14 and md15 mirrors)
/dev/md17 - RAID5
/dev/md18 - RAID5
/dev/md19 - RAID5

cat'ing /proc/mdstat from the command prompt during the install process shows
all RAID devices working properly.

PROBLEM:

The disk partitioning utility in drakx does not seem to be able to deal with md
devices beyond /dev/md9.  It detects md5-md8 fine, but lists /dev/md19 as "md1"
 and does not detect md11-md18 at all.  When one chooses the individual
partitions that make up md19, though, it does list the partitions as part of
md19.  The issue resides in the fact that under the "RAID" tab, md19 is listed
as md1 and none of the md devices beyond md8 are in the "RAID" tab.

This is also the case when one selects the "use existing partitions" tab.  md19
is listed as md1 and no devices beyond md8 are listed at all.

This bug exists in both the graphical, text and expert modes.

I suspect it is something as simple as editing the scripts to be able to handle
double-digit md devices and to check for partitions on md devices beyond md9,
but I am not familiar with the install code.
