Error has occurred on both an Acer Aspire 3680 and Dell Dimension B110. You have to install once, and then reinstall. Encryption may also be a factor, but I haven't gotten to testing this without encryption to see for sure. Reproducible: Always. To recreate: 1. Install Fedora 11 beta from DVD. Change the default disk setup to the following: Single Drive: /dev/sda Size: 76317MB Partitions: /dev/sda1: 200MB, ext3, /boot /dev/sda2: 45396MB, LVM (This is encrypted) /dev/sda3: 30720MB, ext4, /home (This is encrypted) On /dev/sda2 (which is encrypted), I have: lv_root: 42420MB, ext4, / (root) lv_swap: 2972MB, swap sda2 & sda3 are encrypted with the same passphrase. 2. After a successful installation, start reinstall from DVD. 3. Enter passphrase for encrypted drive and choose "This is a global passphrase". 4. Choose "Create Custom layout" and click "Next" 5. Select /dev/sda2 and click "Edit". 6. Click the "Format as:" box, and choose "physical volume (LVM)". The "Encrypt" checkbox should already be checked. Leave it that way, and click "OK". 7. Under the volume group, select "lv_root" then click "Edit". 8. When the "Edit LVM Volume Group" window pops up, select "lv_root" and click "Edit". 9. Crash! Bug 495176 may be related to this one, as I was trying to figure out what EXACT actions were needed to cause that bug to appear when I discovered this one. The tracebacks, however, indicate failures in different functions.

Comment #3 is on Dell Optiplex GX270. NOTE! It isn't necessary to do all the extra disk setup on the initial install. The only changes I made to the default layout was to encrypt the disk, and subtract 4MB from the swap partition, per the workaround listed for Bug 493575. Everything from step #2 on down is the same. My next test will be to try this with no encryption.
Okay, if I don't use encryption during the initial install, I cannot replicate this bug on the reinstall. When you get to step #5 (from Comment #2), you get a pop-up that says "You cannot edit this device: This device is part of the LVM group 'vg_gx2701'." So for some reason having the drives initially encrypted prevents this box from popping up.
Mike, can you retest with rawhide nightly build please? We taught anaconda some rules about editing luks devices :) and it might have solved both this bug and #495176.
I just tried the nightly rebuild for 4-20-2009. This bug is fixed as of anaconda 11.5.0.46-1, thanks!
Thanks for testing it Mike, I wish we had more reporters like you.
