I've got the same problem with the same boot.iso 20090306 I can't edit the partition lv_root initial partitionning was created with Fedora 11 alpha. my setup is : two disks mirrored /dev/sda and /dev/sdb /dev/md0 contains ext3 partition /boot /dev/md1 contain a lvm setup with 4 partitions (and some free space to allow extending lvm) / ext4 /var ext4 /home ext4 + swap the installer only shows /dev/md0 correctly /dev/md1 is changed to have LVM with lv_root occupying all the disk except 5G for swap. I wan't to change the setup to have the same partitionning as before (and format everything) So I select lv_root and click on modify which immediately leads to this error.
I'm encountering the same issue with today's rawhide. I boot with 'icantbelieveitsnotbtr', and as soon as I click "Edit" on lv_root, I get the same traceback.
