Neat. What is your /dev/ttyUSB2?
It's "Sierra Wireless MC5720 Modem" - an EVDO adapter. kudzu -p -b serial hangs, too.
Created attachment 189111 [details] untested patch! This should theoretically fix it - it tells the rhpxl mouse probe to not probe the serial bus.
I applied this on my running system, and Anaconda now starts properly. Thanks!
Looks fine to me. Applied to rhpxl 0.49, which is headed to rawhide as we speak. Serial mouse users are doomed anyway.
In case it's not known, this didn't get into F8 Test 2.
