Bug 2305877

Using: Fedora-Server-dvd-aarch64-Rawhide-20240819.n.0.iso
HW: Initially nvidia grace, but duplicated with virt-manager/cpu=max

The installer starts and reports a dead pane (see below). When the kernel is passed 'arm64.nobti' anaconda starts and allows the user to begin the installation process.

At first glance this looks to be less 'python' and more glib/ffi related, but I'm opening it against python since that is the executable that crashed.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. virt-manager, download latest aarch64 install ISO
2. in TCG mode, set cputype=max
3. boot the install ISO
4. Note failure:
  `Pane is dead`
5: Reboot with arm64.nobti and everything works
Actual Results:  
Starting installer, one moment...
anaconda 41.29-1.fc41 for Fedora Rawhide (pre-release) started.
 * installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
 * shell is available on TTY2 and in second TMUX pane (ctrl+b, then press 2)
 * when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain attachments

Pane is dead (status 1, Mon Aug 19 18:54:20 2024)

Expected Results:  
Anaconda starts and allows the installation to complete.
