---[ System & Environment Information ]---
OS: Fedora Linux 43 (Workstation Edition)
Anaconda version: 43.44
Anaconda UI version: 53.14.g7ea927aa



Fresh installation with official Fedora 43 Workstation ISO. It's any existing system (MBR, no UEFI) previously running Fedora 42 where I simply keep some personalized ext4-partitions (/home, /usr/local, /opt) with every fresh installation. "/boot" and "/" are reformatted with every fresh installation.

Installation runs until the very end where the kickstart is generated and then it fails for some mysterious reason:

I've no clue what goes wrong at this point. Tried several times, always the same at the end. Fedora 43 is unusable for me. Do I have to wait for Fedora 44 or is there any way to work around this issue?
