Full boot/install output
I tried installing F21 aarch64 beta in a VM via virt-install's URL support. This essentially asks qemu to boot:
kernel=$TREE/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
initrd=$TREE/os/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
kernelargs= inst.repo=$TREE
The tree I used is: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/21_Beta/Server/aarch64/os/
You can see more info about the virt setup here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/AArch64/Install_with_QEMU
The kernel boots, dracut downloads the anaconda image, but we get a back trace from python-blivet before anaconda shows us anything:
Starting installer, one moment...
Traceback (most recent call last):

In the future, please attach the log files from /tmp when reporting on a crash from anaconda, in particular the /tmp/anaconda-tb-* file.
In the case of aarch64, it should be detected as an efi platform, which blivet does by looking for the existence of /sys/firmware/efi. I notice these lines early in the boot messages:
[ 0.000000] efi: Getting EFI parameters from FDT:
[ 0.000000] efi: UEFI not found.
So it looks like either a problem with the kernel or a problem in a dtb file.
