Comments/Problems:

This motherboard supports Intel Matrix BIOS RAID so I inserted two HDD's, activated "RAID" in the BIOS SATA settings, then created a logical volume with Ctrl+I (Intel's built-in BIOS RAID manager). Then I created several Linux ext3 partitions using Partition Magic 8.0 for /, /usr, /home and so on.

Problem: The RAID Volume with partitions is detected correctly as /dev/md126 together with all /dev/md126px partitions but as read-only (so Debian's partition manager part can't format the swap area. => Continuation of installation is not possible.

Also a problem: The physical volumes behind appear, too. => The installer marks for example formating the swap partition on three locations (/dev/sde8, /dev/sdf8 and /dev/md126p8 in this example). These shouldn't be offered for partitioning because they are part of the RAID volume
