The system goes for kernel panic state when we select the LVM thin provisioning while installing   while setting root password  installation aborts      Hence reopening the ticket  .

Comment 11 Jan Stodola 2013-12-09 12:03:08 UTC
It is a different issue, related to kernel. It happens also on x86_64 and it has been reported as bug 1039546.
