Fresh install via kickstart. I reformatted the root and /boot

I don't think this is possible since I reformatted the root partition
(I only have /, /boot, and /scratch partitions in addition to a swap
partition).

The process ends without leaving a trace unfortunately (at least that
I can find). I did have an strace running on one system attached to
the gnone-terminal process and it finally died after 5 days or so.
Here are the last 20 lines from the log:

Is there a better way than strace to get some information on this crash?
