[Bug 834731] Re: [Dell PowerEdge R810] 'Prunes' fails to mount file system at /dev/sda1

[Steve Langasek]

Brendan,

What does "Prunes" mean?  Is that just a hostname?

Brian points out that mdadm is trying to assemble a device and then
fails.  I'm sure we don't want to be auto-starting raid arrays in the
installer until after we've partitioned, so maybe that's the bug.  If
this is currently blocking you (as the tag suggests), could you swap the
disk in the machine for a blank one without a raid signature on it?
(Alternatively, image the disk and store the image somewhere, then do a
full wipe of the disk.)
