Description Jonathan Blandford 2009-04-12 21:56:38 UTC 
I created an install with a root partition of type ext3.  Despite this, anaconda seems to have created the partition as ext4.  When anaconda tried to mount it later during the install, it suffered a fatal error and exited.  Repeating the install with ext4 was successful.
Comment 1 Jonathan Blandford 2009-04-12 22:00:09 UTC 
This was with F11 Snapshot 1 and anaconda-11.5.0.38-1 off the Desktop Live CD
Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2009-04-13 13:46:07 UTC 
Jeremy fixed this post-Beta.
Comment 3 Jonathan Blandford 2009-04-13 15:07:20 UTC 
This with with Snapshot 1.  Are you sure its fully fixed?
Comment 4 Chris Lumens 2009-04-13 15:08:53 UTC 
Apparently not.  We're getting reports of it piling up on another bug too.
