I believe this is due to a known Xorg VT switching crash.
Works OK here on a KVM-based x86_64 install of the F12 Beta test compose. Same firstboot/initscripts/anaconda version. So it's not happening for *every* install, anyway.
I get this error using rawhide nightly 20091001.15 i386 same error output as S A Alam reported Smolt: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_a06b74a6-bd35-4178-87e7-ca58c6c533b4 I did the install with use entire drive and no encryption.
plymouthd is blowing an assertion, must be a plymouth problem. reassigning
Not sure this is plymouthd, at least I can successfully get a segfault from X every time I vt switch and switch back. Is plymouth/firstboot/etc doing any vt switching? See http://jkeating.fedorapeople.org/x-radeon-vt-crash.jpg
ah there are two bugs here, i'll clone the plymouth one off, since it's less blocker-y
ati build done and tagged. Just needs a retest.
Talked to Jesse on IRC. We debugged and this actually needed plymouth fixes as well... Fixed in plymouth-0.8.0-0.2009.29.09.6.fc12
I tried plymouth-0.8.0-0.2009.29.09.6.fc12 with rawhide (installed with single user mode), firstboot is working. wait for build available in rawhide
And tagged for the release.
