Can you attach the full error you received, please? The report does not appear on the serial console (boot with "console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0"), so this was re-typed by hand. I have left-justified the lines which appear on the screen as "waterfall" ('\n' in raw mode, without a preceding '\r'). Yes, those "<Tab>" strings (etc.) really are on the screen.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 745, in <module>

File "/usr/lib/anaconda/rescue.py", line 134 in makeFStab
f = open("/etc/mtab", %(instPath,), "r")
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting
install exited abnormally [1/1]
you may safely reboot your system

Fix will be present in anaconda 12.8 *** Bug 515674 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Rescue mode is currently a tier#2 priority case and does not match the defined Alpha release criteria (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_12_Install_Test_Plan#Alpha_criteria). However, I do think this is a NICE TO HAVE to consider for F12Alpha to improve problem debugging for alpha testers. I forgot to attach the screen shot last time. Hope it's still not too late.
