Hi!
I'm building up a new computer and this evening have had several events during installation in which Anaconda has crashed. It's not clear that there is a lot of commonality between the different crashes.
Crash how? does it freeze? When I've seen anaconda crash it usually produces a stack dump which can point to where it crashed exactly.
Yes, a very long dump is produced. (rant: I hate those apps that give you a large chunk of text to look at, but put it in a small window that cannot be re-sized.) I'm afraid it doesn't mean much to me, though I've skimmed it a couple of times and nothing helpful has leaped out at me. it's verrrrrrry long.
I have had anaconda crash a lot while using LVM over the years during installation, do you happen to be trying to setup LVM during installation? If so try not using LVM and see if that helps at all.
no, no LVM. there's a howto on the Centos wiki about building "partitionable" RAID configurations, and I'm trying to follow that.
