Description Amit Shah 2009-06-08 09:34:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
Downloaded the F11 (-rc4) DVD x86-64 iso image. This is an intel desktop.

The graphical installer shows an 'exception occurred' window, prompts to save the BR. When I click on 'save', a new pop-up says 'Finding storage devices...' and never goes away. I can't find a br from there. Dropping to the shell, I can see a few things.

I'll upload a few files from /tmp/ that'll show the crash.

Dumping the crash log here as well for convenience
