What does lsof /dev/sda6 show when you hit this? Something is holding onto the partition which is preventing lvm pvremove from running and causing problems with parted.

[anaconda root@ppc64lehamzytest2 ~]# lsof | grep sda

Another user experienced a similar problem:

Anaconda stopped responding to keyboard as I was entering root password.
Caps lock still toggles light.

reason:         IOException: Partition(s) 15 on /dev/sda have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use.  As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use.  You should reboot now before making further changes.

I've hit the same problem with multipath device and ABRT sent me here.

Good catch. I'm still not sure what's going on here but lets keep them all on one bug.
