*** Bug 895659 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Does this happen every time? When it does happen can you run 'parted -s /dev/vda mklabel msdos' from the cmdline after the crash?

Description of problem:
This is a reproducable problem.  Custom partitioning:

Two drives selected.

1 MB biosboot
500 MB /boot raid1 ext4
1 GB swap raid0
Remainder to / btrfs raid0

Fails during format.

Note: the first 100MB of each drive was 'dd if=/dev/zero' before starting the install.

*** Bug 973747 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Installing to 3TB disk with previous F19 early beta installation.  Selected BTRFS and manual partitioning.  While in manual partitioning deleted all instances of previous installations on single selected disk except sdf1 bios partition.  Created a single btrfs / partition and did not explicitly create any other paritions such as /boot, /home, swap, etc.  This has worked nicely in the past.  Failure occured after entering root password and during Setting up the installation environment.  Attached to the system was a multifunction card reader without any cards.

Try to install fc19 ppc64 RC3 on a quad G5 machine.

After working around yaboot not auto-loading (manually loading it from OFW and specifying the config file path),
the machine boots. The version of nouveau on that kernel is busted apparently so using "vnc".

I get to the anaconda vnc, setup a default partition map on sda (after reclaiming all the space),
start installing ... kab00m.
