Thanks Roland,
That is my gut feeling. I'll give it a try and let you know.

I've had situations before where the installer barked when an old software RAID was present. Assuming that you really want to perform the install (which will wipe the disks anyway) you can try to just brute-force wipe the FS and RAID info before starting the installer. For that boot into your old system and do:
for d in a b; do # Assume a mirror of /dev/sd[ab]] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd$d bs=1M count=1024 done
Obviously, you won't be able to shutdown anymore after this, so you'll have to reset the machine for a reboot with the installer medium present.
If that still doesn't help, you probably really have a corrupted installer medium.
Good luck,
