Did you verify your media? The error messages in your log file indicate kernel errors reading the disc. So you have a bad download, bad burn, or the kernel is having difficulties reading your disc due to driver problems or physical media problems (like inferior quality media that can't burn at the rate you used).
Hi, Yes I did verify my disc and it came out okay. It gives errors on two particular times in the install process. 3 times about 70% into the install. And two times right near the start. So it could indeed be a faulty dvd. I'll try to burn another image to a new disc and see if this resolves the matter. Thank you for looking into the problem!

I've tried it again, with a newly burned disc at below rated speed, sha1 checksum was okay and the dvd verified again. But it still threw the error. I've also tried a live image (on usb) but that didn't even boot (worked fine on a different computer). I don't know if system specs are usefull but I'll add it for completeness: asus p5k mainboard (p35 chipset), intel Q6600, 6GB ocz memory (a 2x1gb and a 2x2gb kit), Western digital 150gb raptor for the OS, western digital 750gb for storage.

I verified the SHA1SUM on the download, and also checked the media at install time, both were OK. Also, I used the same media to do a successful install, but only by accepting all the default installation choices. I wanted KDE but not Gnome (plus a lot of other config choices), but when I install this way Anaconda fails. I could only make it work by accepting the default configuration, and then using yum to install kde and other components. See my original bug report 447081 for the Anaconda dump file.
