Ok, to answer my own post.
In a nutshell,
Tried to install CentOS 6.4 on two different machines and it would fail at
examining basic storage--usually crashing, sometimes just hanging. CentOS
6.3 didn't have the problem.
After a great deal of googling and thinking, I realized the difference
between the time I'd successfully installed 6.4 on the laptop and failed to
do so was changing the filesystem of a Fedora install that shared the test
laptop.
If I use BTRFS on the Fedora system, the CentOS system won't install. If
Fedora is using ext4, it installs as expected. Interesting that this is a
regression on RH's part (I say RH because I had the same results with
Scientific Linux, and regression because the issue doesn't occur in CentOS
6.3) The failure comes early, at examining basic storage.
So, I realize it's a fairly unusual case, but figured I'd put it here for
posterity.
