When trying to install (graphical install), after a few screenshots a Bug message appears: "Assertion (heads<256) ad disk_dos.c:486 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed". When clicking on "Ignore" the message "Assertion ((C * heads + H) * sectors + S == A) at disk_dos.c:495 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed" appears. When clicking on "Cancel" the same bug message ["Assertion (heads<256) ad disk_dos.c:486 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed"] appears again and again (10 or 12 times). When everytihg seems to be at the end of the installation process, the Anaconda installer abnormally interrupts and appears the log file I mentioned above.
