Brian, I am going to reopen this, the person in bug 731356 is doing some live usb trickery, but this bug here looks more legit.
Comment 3 Ales Kozumplik 2011-09-30 07:39:04 UTC 
Jes,

I think the problem is in the LANG=en_US.utf8 parameter you are trying to use. Anaconda (perhaps wrongly) does not recognize languages specified with encoding. Can you try just providing "lang=en" instead and see if the error goes away?

Comment 4 Jes Sorensen 2011-09-30 07:43:35 UTC 
Ales,

The problem is I am not specifying any LANG parameter, I am using the
Fedora 16 Beta ISO image for installation. I pick the US keyboard and
that is about it.

Cheers,
Jes

The anaconda.log you attached shows the kernel boot line points repo to a hard drive (with a UUID). This certainly looks like the line has been manually edited. How was this ISO image obtained then?
Comment 6 Jes Sorensen 2011-09-30 08:48:33 UTC 
Hi,

Nothing was edited manually, it is using IMSM eg. BIOS RAID, on an Intel box.

I pulled the ISO image off the Fedora rsync servers yesterday.

what exactly are you installing from? a DVD? a USB stick? the image file on a hard disk or NFS server?
Comment 8 Jes Sorensen 2011-10-04 05:28:14 UTC 
USB stick with the DVD iso image on it, created using livecd-tools

ok, sorry, this really is a dup of bug 731356. I think I know what is going on and explain that there.
