Just the one thing, that it was trying to use my IDE non-RAID drives to boot from and such when they were plugged in, though I only use them for backup; I unplugged them, and the install went smoothly. Specifically, it added one of my windows installs on an IDE drive as a bootloader entry, and tried to install the bootloader on the MBR of that drive, both of which used the correct places once that drive was disconnected. I don't know what affects its priority there, but I was in a text install and couldn't find a similar thing to changing the boot order, to get the bootloader on the right disk. -Dan
