You should familiarize yourself with some log files:
/tmp/storage.log contains a great deal of logging from the
storage module.
/tmp/program.log contains all external commands/programs run by
anaconda, including their full command line and full output.
Sometimes the system log is useful, as is the output of dmesg.
Please don't start sending these to this list every time you have a
question/issue, though. If you have some web space you can upload them
to and reference here it will greatly help in these troubleshooting
discussions.
