Same problem here. Anaconda should expect UTF-8 in package summary like this one: Firmware for Ralink® RT2571W/RT2671 A/B/G network adaptors

Here is workaround for F9 Beta. By disabling 'Hardware Support' in customizing menu, I could avoid this error.

Perhaps these kind of UnicodeDecodes should be try-catched by default? The cause of the failure is trivial, but the resulting uncaught exception's effect is severe.
------- Comment From KRIECHBA.com 2008-03-31 06:46 EDT------- F9-Beta installs without a problem when anaconda is replaced with the version from the development branch (anaconda-11.4.0.61-1.ppc.rpm)
I was getting the same error when trying to install on an HP 6910p laptop. It wouldn't occur when installing Fedora 8...only version 9 (Beta) would generate this error. I was able to get around the error by doing what Kazunori Asayama suggested in comment #10.

------- Comment From IndhuDurai.com 2008-04-10 10:00 EDT------- hi, As per comment 15, I replaced f9-beta's anaconda-11.4.0.55-1.ppc.rpm in NFS Repo with anaconda-11.4.0.67-1.ppc.rpm(most recent one) and even after that i found the issue reproduced. As per the comment 12, when i disabled the hardware support, installation went on fine. regards, Indhu D
