Description Tim Flink 2013-05-22 16:11:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
I did an install of F19 beta RC3 to an i386 system with dmraid. Selected custom partitioning when the available space appeared incorrect. Once I hit 'next', I was dumped back to the hub with a TB notification shortly thereafter

Comment 7 David Lehman 2013-05-22 19:31:52 UTC 
When dmraid partitions are created with explicit -p p passed to kpartx, parted partition lookups fail, leading to this condition.
