Assigning to anaconda.
How did you do your installation? Can you attach /root/install.log and /var/log/anaconda.log?
Created attachment 157774 [details] Anaconda LOG Here is the anaconda.log file that was requested.
I did the install from the Fedora Live CD. Just downloaded the ISO, burned a CD, booted the laptop and selected the Copy to Hard Drive option from the Desktop. I do not have an install.log file located in /root. Not sure why.
Okay, I see what it is. Separate /var is what is causing it. Fixed in CVS
