Public bug reported:

I'm _this_ close to becoming a fedora to ubuntu convert. (I know you
can't see how close together my fingers are, but trust me, they're
close.)  But I need to keep my existing raid and lvm setup.  After
selecting "Specify partitions manually," the "Prepare Partitions" screen
does not recognize my raid1 and lvm partitions.  Sorry, I can't just
start over -- I have data in /home!

My setup:  sda and sdb:

md0:  /boot (mirrored raid1)
  /dev/sda1
  /dev/sdb1

/dev/sda2: swap
/dev/sdb2: swap

md1: LVM  (mirrored raid1)
  /dev/sda3
  /dev/sdb3

  vg0-root: /
  vg0-home: /home

The "Prepare Partitions" screen sees:

/dev/sda1, Type: ext3
/dev/sda2, type: swap
/dev/sda3, type: (blank)

/dev/sdb1, type ext3
/dev/sdb2, type swap
/dev/sdb3, type (blank)

I don't see any way to tell the installer that sda1 and sdb1 are really
md0 or that sda3 and sdb3 are really an LVM partition on md1.  The
Fedora core 11 installer sees the partitioning scheme for what it is --
too bad fc11 stinks.

I see lots of discussion on raid and lvm for previous ubuntu
intstallers... what happened?
