Description of problem:
RHEL 6.1 fails to install on redclient-[1-4] systems when using lvm.

https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/54092

In the job listed above, redclient-01 had its partitions defined with the following and the install aborted.
   <partition fs="ext3" name="/" size="50" type="lvm"/>

redclient-03 and redclient-04 (which to my knowledge are identical to 01) had their partitions defined as follows.
   <partition fs="ext3" name="/" size="50" type="part"/>

Installation completed on both of those systems.
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6.1-20110217.n.0

How reproducible:
Multiple times with various 6.1 builds.

Steps to Reproduce:

2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Installation aborts.

Expected results:
It should install.

It looks like I've hit this problem on another system, hp-bl460cg5-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com.

From log - seems anaconda crashes here...
Because it is after installation I guess lvm works.
