So certainly not Neither RAID nor LVM is working i guess, this means that 3 of the 4 default automated installation ways will fail, and furthermore fail without any hint on why they fail. higher than important (which it is), maybe it's even normal. I'll leave it as it is. Ok. It would be neat if someone knowledgeable in partman would investigate though.
