Will without fail crash during the "creating file system on root" step of the install. 

After a great deal of time I have isolated that the difference is whether you install this machine (Which is a VM) with a scsi or virtio disk bus. scsi will reliably crash, virtio works. 

Not sure if this is an anaconda bug, or a bug in qemu.

Comment 1 David Shea 2014-07-02 13:31:47 UTC
Please attach the log files from the crash (available in /tmp) to this bug as individual, text/plain attachments.

Comment 2 William Brown 2014-07-08 23:14:30 UTC
I have no files from /tmp because this is a hard crash: The whole emulator dies.

As soon as it gets to "formatting / filesystem" the spinner stops and the graphics console disappears and dies. This is what indicated that it may be a qemu issue with the scsi driver.

Comment 3 David Shea 2014-07-21 20:12:46 UTC
Reassigning to qemu. The bus type shouldn't make a difference to anaconda beyond the names of the devices (vda vs. sda).

Comment 4 Cole Robinson 2014-07-25 16:16:54 UTC
Sounds like bug 1093865, please reopen if crash isn't the same, and attach a backtrace
