I had let the installer set up the partition using LVM. Then I tried without LVM. No matter what I did, it went boom. I used parted to create a gpt partition, and was able to build a clean file system that fsck doesn't get upset about. >http://www.wlug.org.nz/GPT Thanks VERY much for this info. It solved my problem. Both anaconda and the LVM GUI created partitions that were unusable. Nice set of bugs.
