You appear to be trying to install to the same media you booted from:

21:13:52,013 INFO program: mmcblk0           15931539456 root  disk  brw-rw---- mmcblk0
21:13:52,013 INFO program: `-mmcblk0p1        1469054976 root  disk  brw-rw---- `-mmcblk0p1      iso9660         Fedora-Live-WS-x86_64-23-10 2015-10-29-21-39-35-00               /run/initramfs/live

(that means mmcblk0p1 is already in use).

On the other hand, we shouldn't allow you to get into this situation. Can you describe what you did in more detail?

Another user experienced a similar problem:

Comment 11 Jonathan 2016-01-16 19:20:01 UTC
I am not installing to my BOOT media.
I am trying to install to /dev/sdb, an usb3 16 GB sandisk ultra fit.
My BOOT media is the Fedora Live 23 and is in /dev/sda BUT is an identical 16 GB sandisk ultra fit. Not sure if this may confuse the installer but it seems unlikely.

Another user experienced a similar problem:

attempting to install v23-Gnome on Fujitsu Lifebook. I5 processor, 6gb memory and 2.6mhz.
Keep getting anaconda problem.  Have v16-Gnome installed on another Fujitsu with an I3 processor and have been using it since 20 was first released

Comment 14 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 13:42:13 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 15 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 16:14:25 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 16 Red Hat Bugzilla 2023-09-14 03:13:45 UTC
The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days
