Steps to recreate the problem:
--------------------------------------------------
1) Start installation(ftp based) of Fedora 19 on an LPAR.
2) Select language and hit continue.
Installation fails with following anaconda exception :

Similar installation on a zVM works without any problems.

The failure depends on number of CPUS. I had single CPU configured for the LPAR during installation. If i increase the number of CPUs, I am able to install without any problem.
Same problem can be recreated on a zVM guest as well if number of CPU is one.
