This seems like an Anaconda issue. Changing component.

please attach the traceback after the crash. If anaconda crashes with an exception you can save it as /tmp/anaconda-tb??? file which you can scp over to another machine and then attach to this bug. If you see a crash in console, take a screenshot.
