Comment 13 Felix Kaechele 2013-10-04 16:06:27 UTC
Looks like an issue with text-mode/headless installations. When removing inst.text and inst.headless from the cmdline arguments of the kernel the installation works.

Comment 14 David Shea 2013-10-04 17:56:35 UTC
This is happening while processing the spoke statuses. The installation source is displaying "Custom software selected" (translated to "Benutzerdefinierte Software ausgewählt"), and something is tripping up over the utf-8 characters.
