Hi John,
This is a known bug.
It has been an extreme pain to track down because it has always been 
intermittent.  It seems to affect certain machine's, meaning if it 
happens to your machine once, somewhere in the future, it is going to 
happen again, while other machines can be reinstalled for hundreds of 
times and it never happens.
Depending on the machine it either happens 25% to 10% of the time after 
an install.
It has happened on all types of disk setup's.  It hasn't mattered if it 
is a RAID or a single disk, SCSI or ATA, or SATA.
It has affected all of the distro's with this version of anaconda (from 
Fedora through to S.L., CentOS and others) and as far as I can tell, 
nobody has tracked down the problem.
