Created attachment 395280 [details] Attached traceback automatically from anaconda.
Was trying to use text mode to get by 566948 (x-saerver crashing?) and selected reinstall and then selected all drives and use free space. This is a real corner case and should probably be low severity vice medium. I would wish for a graceful exit instead of traceback with some kind of msg saying "Select a different drive instead of /dev/xxx" and retry or just reporting that text mode should be avoided. Too bad we can't do custom layout in text mode.
