Can you scroll up and grab the rest of the backtrace from the original comment? Also, grabbing the storage.log itself and not just screenshots of it would be way more helpful. No, getting information off this setup is difficult. Anyway it's trivially reproducible if you switch to tty2 and run parted -l or parted /dev/sdc p. parted is choking on the funny partitioning of the USB flash reader. This is very likely caused by parted asserting while trying to guess the CHS geometry. This has been fixed upstream in commit 244b1b25a12198efb076e8c65be77b5750776583 which applies cleanly to parted-2.1 Created attachment 489167 [details]

Created attachment 489115 [details] anaconda crash screen Description of problem: When "Basic Storage" is selected during installation process anaconda crashes with "Anaconda died after receiving signal 6" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Anaconda version 13.21.82 on x86_64 How reproducible: Install RHEL6 on Dell r610 - insert RHEL6 media in CDROM - mount RHEL6 installation media as virtual media via DRAC - select "F11" during system boot sequence and proceed to boot via virtual cd-rom - begin anaconda installation - When you get to "what type of devices will your installation involve?", select "Basic Storage Devices" Actual results: See screenshot anacondacrash.jpg See also, storage.log attached screenshots (sorry, working over DRAC, no text logs available). Expected results: The local disks should appear as installation media available to RHEL6. Additional info: Selecting "Specialized Storage Devices" from within Anaconda does not crash anaconda, but the disks /dev/sda and /dev/sdb (local disks in Dell r610) do not show up in the basic storage device tab. Only the 954MB flash memory card shows up as a basic storage device. This might be related to why anaconda is crashing when "basic storage" is selected.
