It sounds like you should retry with Fedora 11 Snapshot 1; the
announcement [1] mentioned that "Lots of work has gone into the storage
code of Anaconda since the Beta release, please do re-test with these
images if you had difficulty installing the Beta." 

If it's still broken in snapshot 1, then I'd suggest filing a bug in
bugzilla.

Hope this is helpful
