Perhaps the issues I had with creating RAID-0 volumes in diskdrake are cropping up in the installer? > Is the clue the reference to RAID-0? Did you move /boot to a RAID-0 > array?

The system works fine if I do everything manually (fdisk, vi /etc/raidtab, mkraid, mke2fs, cp -a, vi /etc/fstab, reboot).
