I've tried several installs of F19 Alpha TC3 netinst.iso and the ones that haven't failed earlier all seem to get stuck in \performing post-installation setup tasks'. After some time, the X screen seems to go black or grey. The logs really don't give much detail about what's going on. top sometimes shows anaconda at 100%, sometimes not, but always seems to show a long-running 'ext4lazyinit' process. Google on that gives some interesting results suggesting install processes should pass noinit_itable as an ext4 mount option, but that doesn't seem really new, so it may be a red herring. I'll attach the logs from my latest stuck attempt. Note that the logs have not been written to since 00:22; it's now 00:49 and the install process does not appear to have completed. It's been stuck with no apparent progress for that whole 27 minutes. I've had this happen in a VM and on bare metal with both BIOS and UEFI boot.

Fedora-19-Alpha-TC3-x86_64-netinst.iso Test in VirtualBox 4.2.10 2048 memory 16.GB HD Bridged Network basicx + ldxe default install root and user setup ( 1302 files) Timing: 6:01 post install set up 6:06 bootloader 6:07 done reboot 6:08 Pm logged in to ldxe I used 2048 memory 16.GB HD default virtualbox basicx + ldxe Boots fine
for me the installed system boots if I just force a reset, but I cannot log in as root with the password I set during install (111111).
Now I read kparal's later comments on 928287, I'm pretty sure this is actually just that. Will re-open if it isn't. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 928287 ***
