Created attachment 480537 [details] patch to anaconda to attempt on-demand scanning of md containers as needed I notice you're doing a live install, so updates won't work. To apply this patch, run this command as root on your livecd before launching liveinst (assuming you've saved it in /tmp): cd /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages && patch -p1 < /tmp/20110223-md-fwraid-scan-order-678877.patch
This may prevent any successful storage scan on intel fwraid systems, so proposing as a beta blocker.
I can confirm this fix resolves the issue. Now I see #680226 - can you please have an eye on that one to be sure your fix is not causing the new issue by accident? Just to be sure.

I'm hitting something similar to this. Interestingly, if I just select 'basic storage devices' it gets reported as a different bug, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681047 ; if I select 'specialized storage devices' and leave the messed-up 'drives' which appear to represent the partitions on the RAID array unselected, and select only the USB key I also have plugged in as an install target, anaconda still crashes, and the crash is marked as a dupe of this bug (see comment #6).
*** Bug 681047 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
we should document this for Alpha, given the breadth of impact.
(In reply to comment #9) > we should document this for Alpha, given the breadth of impact. Adam, have you had any luck with the proposed patch in comment#4?
Same experience as Sandro: it causes or exposes #680226 instead. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Patches that fix all known firmware RAID issues for F15 are available in bug 681608 for those doing live installs. For those doing non-live installs, just ask and I'll be happy to provide an updates image for you to test with.
