Similar problem has been detected: I created a fedora workstation live usb via fedora media writter installed on a fedora workstation 25. I did a volume-check? before actually start the live-usb, and the report show that I'm all good. The weird part fade up after I choose language in 'Install to harddrive'. It stucked for like about 1-2 mins and tell me that somethings went wrong and now I am writting the bug report and hope the issue could be resolved. I believe that the 'Install to hard-drive' app can still functioning but I couldn't try it before submitting this bug report. addons: com_redhat_kdump cmdline: /usr/bin/python3 /sbin/anaconda --liveinst --method=livecd:///dev/mapper/live-base cmdline_file: BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-WS-Live-25-1-3 rd.live.image rd.live.check quiet hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 other involved packages: system-python-libs-3.5.2-4.fc25.x86_64 package: anaconda-core-25.20.8-1.fc25.x86_64 packaging.log: product: Fedora reason: pyanaconda.packaging.PayloadInstallError: Failed to mount the install tree release: Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five) version: 25

Not sure why my diagnostic info was not automatically uploaded (I said "yes"). I am attaching manually as anaconda-2017-05-13-14:38:20.423658-5373.tar.gz
Created attachment 1278477 [details] Diagnostic files per comment 16 This file contains the files that should have been automatically uploaded but were not for some reason.
Created attachment 1278478 [details] Diagnostic files from Workstation attempt (vs MATE) Repeated F25 install, but with "Workstation" rather than "MATE Spin". Failed in similar manner but with a different error message, which is probably more indicative of MY underlying problem. Error message = "Not using lvmetad because duplicate PVs were found". This message was also contained in the previous MATE spin failure, but it seemed to have struggled forward a bit more and the single summary reason was different. To recap, the "reason" file contents are: MATE: pyanaconda.packaging.PayloadInstallError: Failed to mount the install tree WORKSTATION: gi.overrides.BlockDev.LVMError: Process reported exit code 1280: WARNING: Not using lvmetad because duplicate PVs were found Next I'll try the SERVER ISO. Not terribly hopeful though.
Wow - Installing the Fedora-25 "Server Edition" succeeded while the "Workstation" and "MATE Spin" fail. So I have a path forward. Further that should be a big clue (diffing the relevant anaconda (or whatever) scripts between Server and Workstation. Also, I have noticed there is a more finely focused ticket for my problem (failure to detect the Mirror RAID) at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1394467. It seems that the current ticket's error message may have multiple underlying cause. My problem seems to be related to a failure to detect the Mirror RAID used as the primary LVM PV. I have repeated all of my comments there and will be watching that ticket as well.
Repeat the SERVER Edition WORKED FOR ME !!! I did not make that as obvious as I should have.
