Boot using RescueCD from Hetzner.

parted /dev/sda
mkpart primary 1MB 512MB
set 1 boot on
parted /dev/sda
mkpart primary 512MB -1MB    
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2

And next create LVMs, format partition and use VNC instalation.

You don't. GPT support is available on EL6, but not on EL5.

So Hetzner should never have offered you this distribution.

To resolve the issue, install CentOS 6 instead.
