<p>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.</p>
<p>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 :-)<br><br></p>
