    I don't suppose you managed to get it to either:

    a) Create software RAID devices without hanging, or
    b) Just mount an existing software RAID device without attempting to
    recreate it?

    I can't do either, and i'm sure Debian would win a die-hard convert in
    me if i could just get the !@#$ thing installed. SATA seems to be the
    sticking point on my system, but i would have thought installing to an
    existing md would work, since installing to an existing non-RAID
    partition works.
