This happens with both x86 and x86_64 installs from DVD of either F8 or F7. I also tried burning the boot.iso from the DVD to a CD and boot from that with the same results.

Being this is pretty broken, I'm hoping this is a known problem and there is some type of workaround.

If that fixes it, visit https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379411 and add your report.

(This bug was supposedly fixed before release but still seems to be present, just a lot less common than before.)
