I am seeing a consistent anaconda crash with the following setup. Note
that the instructions below assume 1 PATA/SATA HD, and that the USB
disk will be assigned sdb and have 1 partition...
1 - take a revisor-creted ISO
2 - store it in a USB flash drive vfat formatted with this script (it
stores the whole ISO on disk)
http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/xs-livecd;a=blob;f=util/mkusbinstall;h=e90b238e4d41a8fa00c64366ff34665f77b112c3;hb=HEAD
3 - on the syslinux menu, add to the kernel cmdline: ks=hd:sdb1:ks.cfg
4 - when stage 1 asks about the install source, pick 'hard drive' and
point it to /dev/sdb1 , path 'iso'
5 - anaconda works through the installation correctly, until it is
done with installing rpms...
6 - the anaconda debug dialog pops up...
I entered debugging mode, I found myself in this location of the code
File "/usr/lib/booty/bootloaderInfo.py", line 939, in grubbyDiskName
return "hd%d" % self.drivelist.index(name)
and name was sdb, but self.drivelist was ["sda"].

attached there...
