Anaconda crash output

I'm a member of the Fedora Respin SIG and we periodically build and test updated live media for the current Fedora releases.  Those get advertised in the #fedora IRC channel and are often referred to use as they have less updates needed post install and have newer kernels which are helpful for some people who have hardware issues with the Fedora GA media.

Anyhoo... in our most recent attempt to build F32 live media... the media builds but in testing... the installer, Anaconda crashes after all info has been gathered... and the "Begin Installation" button is pressed... as it is trying to partition the disk and format the partitions with a filesystem.  I've attached the Anaconda error output.

This is somewhat odd considering the anaconda package(s) don't appear to have been updated in a while... so it is most likely some underlying Python component.  I'm not a programmer so I have no idea.

Unless we can get this working again, that's most likely it for F32 respin media going forward.

This is a bug in kernel (or behaviour change in kernel that breaks parted), it should be fixed in 5.8.9-200.fc32.x86_64
