I've been wrestling with anaconda this evening on my x86_64 machine.  It
seems that anaconda (or some other piece of the installer) is
forcing /dev/mapper to be created even when I have no RAID devices
enabled.

I have cleared the 'fake' raid stuff off of my disks from rescue
mode(dmraid -E), but with 2 disks installed the installer insists on
trying to configure /dev/mapper/mpath0.

I see each disk individually if I only have one SATA drive connected at
a time.  Which seems odd as heck to me, but I can install FC6 and at
least send you folks this email this way.

Is there a 'nodmraid' option to the installer that I can pass to allow
me to see /dev/sda & /dev/sdb instead of the dmraid stuff?  What's even
stranger is that there appears to be a way to disable dmraid from the
GUI screen when you choose to 'remove all partitions', but the option is
greyed out?!?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Does your mainboard have any RAID BIOS's loaded?
Jump in to the BIOS and have a look at the SATA RAID stuff, DON'T CHANGE IT.
Please let us know what the setting is.

Thanks
