funny thing is that it works fine under cobbler.  anaconda offered to 
reinitialize the partition and I let it, but still didn't help.

I've seen that happen when the disk has strange partitioning information. 
Anaconda queries the disk, gets confused, and eventually dies. We had this 
after trying to use a HW RAID, and then abandoning that plan for SW RAID. The 
RAID controller had written some odd partitioning data on the disks.

Can't remember what we did to un-jinx it. Probably switched to a VT early under 
the installer and used fdisk to write some bog-standard partition anaconda 
could make sense of :-)
