Created attachment 358967 [details]
full anaconda exception report

Used desktop-x86_64-20090825.16.iso live disk (to avoid bug 519478 that
prevents X11 from operating with the regular F12 x86_64 live disc)
and reproduced the error... this time in an environment that made it
easy to capture the full report in this attachment.

The /var/log/messages file should give some details about block devices available on this host.

sdb contains a Fedora 11 system, which I intended to replace with F12 alpha.
