I've seen that happen when the disk has strange partitioning information.
Anaconda queries the disk, gets confused, and eventually dies. We had this
after trying to use a HW RAID, and then abandoning that plan for SW RAID.
The RAID controller had written some odd partitioning data on the disks.

Can't remember what we did to un-jinx it. Probably switched to a VT early
under the installer and used fdisk to write some bog-standard partition
anaconda could make sense of :-)
