Created attachment 15284 [details] Bug # 35861
This bug is a duplicate of bug #16686. It looks like you didn't format the / partition. Right after the Disk Druid screen, there is a screen asking you what partitions you want to format. Formatting / is absolutely necessary, so if you don't do it, the installer with crash later when it tries to copy data to an unformatted partition. We have added a lot more error handling code since 7.0 was released, so this problem should not occur in future versions. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 16686 ***
