Description of problem:

When trying a fresh install on a MacBook Pro, anaconda crashes when scanning the disks (stack attached)

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

RHEL 6 x86_64 Workstation Beta 2 (20100622)

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install with basic video driver
2. Choose Basic Disk configuration
  
Actual results:

Installation crashes

Expected results:

Installation should proceed

Additional info:

Please note that there are some "nested" LVM used by virtual machines. That is, I use logical volumes as the virtual drives of virtual machines (using QEMU/KVM under CentOS 5 x86_64) and the VM installs create VGs and LVs on these virtual drives.
Maybe it has something to do with that.

Please also note that RHEL 6 Beta 1 was installing without problem on the same hardware. I have modified the LVM since them (deleted some LVs, installed VMs, etc.)
