--- Comment #7 from Keith Hopkins ---
I'm adding this comment to provide more perspective this bug report, which is
similar to 906142.
13.2 cannot handle the existence of a pdc/promise style fakeraid raid0 array.
It detects partition beyond end-of-disk and falls into a loop, eventually
dumping out to a dracut prompt.
The system has three disks. Two in a fakeraid raid0 array, and a single disk.
The system started as a 12.3 install on a fakeraid raid0 array, which worked
fine.
I ran an upgrade, booting from the 13.2 DVD. The installer detected the
fakeraid and all of it contents perfectly, and did the upgrade in place.
After rebooting, the system fails as described above.
I then made the single disk the boot disk in BIOS, and did a new install of
13.2 onto an unused partition on the single disk. That went fine (and the
installer still recognized the fakeraid array correctly).
Upon booting from the new single disk install, the system fails as described
above.
I've now re-installed 12.3 on the single disk, and am up and running enough to
recover the data from the fakeraid array.

Thanks to Gert for doing good research.
