But I mean I have read in the changelog from parted 3.1, it is a Raid(1)
GPT Error Bug corrected ?
I don't think this is related to parted, honestly. Did you partition sda and
sdb before you created the RAID container? I think the problem is that the
IMSM metadata has stepped on the GPT secondary partition at the end of the
sda and sdb, that's what you original post indicates.

I could be wrong but it seems like the problem is that sda and sdb shouldn't
even have a GPT in the first place, they should just be treated as raw
physical devices for Intel Raid to take over, and you'd only create a GPT
for the virtual device (the array) within. If correct, the way to get rid
of the kernel GPT error messages would be to remove the unnecessary GPT
structures from sda and sdb, leaving only the IMSM metadata intact.
My steps to install a computer with dualboot, but I can also install Linux 
alone with the same result. 

I create the Array's with the on board BIOS run indexing the I run a Tool most 
"diskpart" (dualboot) to create a GPT Table.

Install method is EFI.

afterward I install win7  

The next step is to install a Linux (most openSUSE)

or 

Install Linux on a BIOS created Array (Raid1 or Raid10) for a Server

create a GPT Table

the result are the same.

OK, the system is running but never start parted or a other tool and say to 
anything yes, then you have a destroyed system :(.
