Comment 2 David Lehman 2010-02-11 19:44:40 UTC 
Is this failure repeatable?
Comment 3 Ray Evans 2010-02-12 03:32:35 UTC 
If you select custom partition layout or you select use free space, this is 100% reproducible.   It seems any option that deletes an existing partition or creates a new partition causes it.  If you merely format or reformat an existing partition, then the error does not occur.  I typically have to boot a LiveCD and use gparted to create partitions to work around this issue.
Comment 4 David Lehman 2010-02-12 16:51:46 UTC 
You have three different crashes in your logs. Quite a mess.

Please collect /tmp/storage.state, along with a matching crash dump, and attach both to this report so I can try to sort this out.
Comment 5 Ray Evans 2010-02-14 12:05:32 UTC 
Unfortunately, those crashes left the system in an inoperable state.  I have reformatted and re-installed since them.  Next install I will make an attempt.

I'm seeing the same thing:

1. Install a Fedora 12 virtual machine with the default settings
2. Clone this Fedora 12 virtual machine
3. On the clone, boot desktop-x86_64-20100218.16.iso and install
Comment 10 David Lehman 2010-03-02 00:08:41 UTC 
This is almost certainly a dupe of bug 567840. Can someone see if a livecd with anaconda-13.32-1.fc13 or later still has this problem?
