I tried a few of them. They didn't solve the problem, but they did help me find it. When I tried to run the install without LVM, I still got the same anaconda crash (referencing vgremove). I realized that anaconda was trying to remove the volume groups that already existed on the drives. Once I erased all of the partition information on the drives with fdisk, I was able to do a normal install with LVM. -- Bowie
