Hi Ian,

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,

Roland
