Anaconda Dump Log

Description of problem: Anaconda crashes searching storage devices on my Acer 5920 laptop. The crash seems to be triggered scanning my external usb disk drive.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 11.5.0.47


How reproducible: Install Fedora 11 PR or Fedora 11 Beta or rawhide 31/05/2009 or try to upgrade with preupgrade from Fedora 10. 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. start anaconda 
2. choose the language and keyboard layout 
3. wait for anaconda to crash while probing the storage devices
  
Actual results:

Anaconda crashes with the error attached

Expected results:

Anaconda proceeds showing the partitioning options (I guess...)

Additional info:

The "incriminated" device /dev/sdb is an external Iomega usdb disk with the following configuration: 

Disk /dev/sdb: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x18509118
