I was mistaken when I originally described this error as being seen during a uefi installation. This was a legacy mode installation from DVD to a disk with a GPT label, which is probably an unusual combination but as far as I know should be supported.
This problem has now also occurred during a uefi installation to a disk with a GPT disklabel.
I have no idea at all. Can you make this happen if you use rawhide/f12alpha?
Created attachment 359737 [details] anaconda execption report from fedora 12 alpha installation As requested, I tried installing Fedora 12 Alpha on the same machine where I saw the original issue. I did not get the same error but did hit a different anaconda failure as detailed in the attached exception report.
reassigning this error over to anaconda.
Since the original issue appears to be fixed in F12 Alpha, I'm going to close this bug out. We have plenty of reports of the second issue described in comment #5, which I believe are assigned to python-pyblock.
