I attempted a simple custom partition layout - 3 bare partitions, no LVM: ext3 /boot, 1024MB swap, everything else / - in a KVM guest.

I got a traceback indicating that swapon seems to have failed - the message on tty5 says:
  "swapon: can't stat '/dev/sda2': No such file or directory"
but /dev/sda2 does exist. Perhaps there's a race between anaconda and udev here?

Full dump is attached. here's the traceback:
