Segfault, or anaconda/python stack trace? (Does the error appear as a 
pop-up box within anaconda?)

If it's a genuine segfault that's very wrong and should be escalated to 
RedHat (especially for their RHEL offering).

There is a bug (feature?) in recent anacondas, still present it seems, 
where the package order is not taken into account, and must therefore be 
generated correctly (with pkgorder). The wiki page which Klaus mentioned 
has the details of which commands to run.
