Tar.gz of logs from installation /tmp directory

Description of problem:
When trying to install x86_64 from installation DVD. Anaconda halts after selecting language and keyboard layout. It seems to be Parted problem, logs are included here but they have been made using 'tar -zcf' command of /tmp directory when installing the system.

Also, files dev-sda and dev-sdb are included as fdisk outputs for both drives here in the .tar.gz file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 11.5.0.59

How reproducible:
Try installing the Fedora 11 system when having disk layout as described in dev-* files in included tar.gz file.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Described above
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Anaconda throws an exception and saving is not possible because it tries to find storage devices which halts the installation. Only another terminal (let's say when pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1) is available and this is the only way how I was able to get logs from /tmp directory.

Expected results:
Installation goes well and allows me to select partition where to install the operating system.

Additional info: I am having twice RHEL 5.3 installed on those partitions as well (first is for RHEL version of Xen, second for upstream version of Xen) and I need to install Fedora 11 x86_64 to one separate partition (already created and unallocated but fails even when it's allocated).
