Comment 14 Reartes Guillermo 2013-05-02 16:07:16 UTC 
For comment #13:

1. Reach the Main Hub, leave defaults at the Welcome Screen
2. Set Keyboard Distribution: Spanish (most likely optional)
3. Enter Software Selection, select KDE Plasma Workspaces (no-addons).
4. Enter Storage: Installation Destination, after Software Selection finished resolving dependencies. 
5. Select disk: vda and vdb click done
6. Leave default partition scheme (lvm) and click 'reclaim space'
7. For disk vda select 'delete' to all vda partitions (vda1,2,3), now select 'preserve' to bring it back
8. In the Main Hub, the storage configuration is accepted. Let's change it.
9. Enter Storage: Installation Destination (Again)
10. Deselect vda and vdb and click 'done'
11. Anaconda returns to the Main Hub with no disks selected and crashes.

Description of problem:
Boot Fedora-19-Beta-TC3 Installer.

Comment 16 Robert Lightfoot 2013-05-05 03:40:43 UTC 
Proposing as Beta Blocker because Custom Partitioning must work for Beta Criteria
Comment 17 Adam Williamson 2013-05-05 16:58:13 UTC 
This doesn't appear to have anything to do with custom partitioning.
Comment 18 Robert Lightfoot 2013-05-05 21:24:15 UTC 
The test case says use the partitioning screen to create a disk layout.  If however, you enter the screen twice is when this bug appears.  So using the custom screen more than once results in this bug.  I don't think it should matter how many times you change the layout, it should not error and use the last choice.  Hence why I logged this against custom partition.  I am open if there is a better place to address the issue.
Comment 19 Adam Williamson 2013-05-05 23:17:11 UTC 
Bob: that screen is not the partitioning screen. It's the disk selection screen.
Comment 20 Leslie Satenstein 2013-05-06 14:35:47 UTC 
Description of problem:
4 disks /sda to /sdd.
Requested full install to /sdd. I exited back to main panel, but did not recall seeing where boot would be. I reselected /sdd and saw previous settings so I exited to main panel and lockup occurred. After a while, the timeout allowed me to report his problem

Comment 21 Adam Williamson 2013-05-06 16:22:31 UTC 
Discussed at 2013-05-06 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-05-06/f19beta-blocker-review-3.2013-05-06-16.02.log.txt . Accepted as a blocker under https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Alpha_Release_Criteria#Installation_interfaces : "When using the dedicated installer images, the installer must be able to complete an installation using the text, graphical and VNC installation interfaces.", in the case where you enter the disk selection screen twice (a very common operation, as the number of dupes shows).
Comment 22 Adam Williamson 2013-05-07 17:19:00 UTC 
Description of problem:
Oh jeez, this was complex. Started with a GPT-formatted disk with one empty partition. Used custom partitioning, intentionally did not create a BIOS boot partition. Hub displayed an error. Went back to Installation Destination and chose 'Reclaim Space', completed flow, hub still showed an error (I'm filing that bug now). Went back to Installation Destination once more, it now said I had sufficient space for a Fedora install, so I said OK, and the hub now showed no errors. Went back to Installation Destination once more, de-selected the disk, click OK. Hub now warned that no disks were selected. Went back to Installation Destination one more time, and the error happened. Simple!
