description: 
When setting up a software raid 1 on installation, the first md0 has correct
default values (RAID 1 / and 64K chunk size) but the consecutive mds do not,
causing catastrophic errors. 

Adding a secondary md1 will prompt to create the new md1 device with RAID 0, and
no chuck size. Unless manually enetered by the user, it will result in the
installation failing, since incorrect /etc/raidtab will be created (with
chucksize 0) in it. It will also result in some cryptic error message such as
divide by zero and the installation (disk partitioning) will go into an endless
loop. 

As mentioned, it is easily fixed by the user if he/she enters the values for md1
manually. This problem will happen for a user who is trying to set both software
RAID and LVM. For an example, see http://www.aplawrence.com/Linux/lvm.html .

*** The problem shows on MDK 9.1 and WAS NOT tested on cooker *** 
I am reporting this error since I was unable to find it in the bugzilla.
