When you say softraid, you mean linux software raid, rather than bios
raid or hardware raid ?

Yes. Linux softraid.

Maybe it is related to:

No. I am not doing a kickstart install.

And I succesfully updated two other machines with F10 installed on Linux
softraid, to F11.

Something in Anaconda is failing to see the second and the third drive
on a machine with the first drive being an IDE drive, and the 2nd and
the 3rd drive being SCSI drives. It doesn't see the drives, but I can
flip over to the ALT-F2 shell, and run mdadm --assemble --scan. mdadm
ends up creating /dev/md125, /dev/md126, and /dev/md127 (!), rather than
/dev/md[012], but I can mount them manually and see my existing F10
partitions.

So, Anaconda is not even assembling my existing RAID arrays. I can
assemble them manually, but Anaconda does not see them.

2 dumb questions:
1 - Does your BIOS see the drives?

See above. I can see the bloody drives just fine, from the shell on ALT-F2.

2 - Have you tried doing an expert install?

I can't find documentation on the expert installation option in F11's install documentation. Earlier Fedoras had an expert boot option, but it no longer seems to be present.
