Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2009-03-10 15:33:19 UTC 
You have a lot of squashfs read errors in your exception log, which could very well be the cause of a problem like this.  Could you try again with different boot media, making sure to verify both your download and burn (if you are booting off a CD)?  Thanks.
Comment 3 Remy Maucherat 2009-03-10 17:03:36 UTC 
Yes, I see those FS errors, so it is worth checking indeed.

Re downloading http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/x86_64/os/images/boot.iso produced the same error (as this is a VM, I am booting off the .iso without burning it to a CD). There is no md5 signature I can use to check that the .iso is not corrupted, let me know if I missed something.

Seeing this while booting a KVM guest with a single disk.  

1) I select: "Use entire disk" 
2) Select Next and allow anaconda to partition the disk
Comment 8 James Laska 2009-03-11 16:12:23 UTC 
I *think* this might be related to the squashfs zlib corruption (see bug#489698)?  At least, I can't reproduce this problem anymore ... but hit bug#489698 instead.
