True here but we might not be on the same page. I do not have a choice
but to use  /dev/mapper as anaconda determined this and it is not the
case. It is a bug. I tried to wipe the disks with fdisk, reboot and
contune another install, but Anaconda still only shows /dev/mapper.

Although true, it is not relevant here. This seg fault has to do with
Anaconda not recognizing the correct disks and then trying to install to
that.
