Everything depends on what the backtrace and error being reported are.
Switch to text console VT2 (ctrl-alt-F2) to get a command window;
then cd to /tmp and cp the file anacdump.txt to a safe location (like
a floppy :-)

There are a couple of open bugs on anaconda at that poin of the install
and you may want to add information to one of them.

My question is if it is the LVM/vgchange activation bug. It's kind of
intermittent depending on the memory configuration of the machines.
