Description of problem:
After defaulting most of the installation options, the formatting of /filesystem starts. I am getting a variety of errors, including kernel panic, python 
errors, and anaconda errors (see attached). There does not seem to be any logic to the type of error that occurs. Occasionally I have gotten as far 
as the RPMS tranfer before the dump or other abort occurs.

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


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select installation options (Server)
2. Begin installation
3. Wait
