Just to re-iterate (and slightly rephrase) what James said: I believe
that the change to anaconda was to disallow assigning '/' to a partition
that was not being formatted during the installation process. If the
partition was previously formatted, you wouldn't be able to mount it as
'/' unless you reformat it as part of the install.

Are you using custom or auto partitioning?

Are you using pre-existing partitions/logical volumes? If so, does
deleting and re-creating those partitions work (assuming you can do so)?

Thanks,
Tim
