Hi.
The raid arrays with dynamic minor number will be hardly identified for installation. For instance if we create the raid array with
Code:
mdadm --create /dev/md/home --level 1 --raid-devices 2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2
the devices won't be visible in the installer.
I don't know if i'm on the right track, but here is a suggestion for the probe script of the initrd.img.
Code:

P.S. : The purpose of these messages is not so much to solve a personal problem, but try to find an official way of doing an "out of the box working" raid installation. The history of messages for this problem :
