What does blkid think of the device; does blkid /dev/sda2 think it's
some other fs?

Also anything interesting from the kernel?  (dmesg, or look on the VT
that has the kernel log)

I'm not sure how anaconda decides what to try to mount to get sizes...
if it's totally unrecognized it should probably skip it.t
