Well, I got this running relying on /dev/dm-x device mapping and it works. I was just figuring out why BIOS is changing DDF volume names every time... Is this meaning that BIOS try to autodetect RAID array-on-disk signatures every reboot instead of reading configuration from NVRAM? I think that this can be an issue for distro installers... Isn't it?
