There's a lot of really strange warning messages in your log files relating to packages duplicating each other, and an error about not enough space in /boot. What did you originally have installed on this system and what steps did you take before doing an install? Did you have a yum transaction that failed for some reason? Do you have a large number of kernel packages installed?
This is a sad story of an upgrade gone bad. Basically, I had to restart an upgrade, which resulted in a lot of duplicated packages and wasted diskspace. I think the immediate cause was lack of disk space on /boot, but the root cause was a problem with the choice of upgrade packages on Fedora mirrors, as explained below. I was doing an netinstall upgrade from FC15 to FC16. Midway through the process, I got an error that package 'vte' can't be found: the problem was installation was looking for vte-0.28.2-1 but the currently available package is vte-0.28.2-2 . Anaconda was trying and failing to get the -1 RPM, and the install GUI threw a message about a missing or corrupt RPM, requiring aborting the install. The only two options were Retry and Reboot. I couldn't think of a way to fake it by slipping the -2 RPM by either renaming to -1 and moving it into RPM staging area, or by installing it by hand (RPM database was locked by Anaconda). I had to reboot, and install the -2 package by hand, and restarting the install, with the result that I had a ton of duplicated packages because the install failed to clean the FC15 packages (I did package-cleanup, see below). After fixing the 'vte' problem, I ran into two more issues like that: gtk2-devel-docs wanted 2.24.8-2 but the mirrors had 2.24.7-2; also, same problem with kernel-doc (the upgrade process wanted 3.1.5-1 but mirrors have none). Unfortunately, anaconda doesn't handle these things well--there's no option to skip the package in question. I appreciate that it's not always possible if there are dependencies, but the alternative is a destructive installation abort (the error message essentially says if you reboot you have to reinstall). I persisted in continuing the installation past those three aborts and the anaconda crash reported here, and got a system with 2213 FC15 and 2399 FC16 packages. I think I resolved the issue by running 'package-cleanup --cleandupes', although I still have a bunch of pre-FC16 packages.
