Well, it looks like there is a bug in the exception handling code, so the
actual error you first encountered didn't get shown, making it all rather
mysterious.  I'd say try messing around, say try "linux text" and do it the
ugly way.

Also, bugzilla against anaconda with the message you show above, so they at
least fix the second problem.
