For work reasons, I need a Fedora 28 VM. I've got a bunch of
disk space
set aside to create logical volumes (LVM) for exactly this purpose, with
several existing VMs. On this occasion, I decided that I no longer needed
an older Fedora VM and decided to recycle it. I got the Fedora 28 x86_64
Workstation ISO image, set that as the boot CD in virt-manager, and fired
it up. I told it to install to disk and immediately ran into these
(apparently duplicate bugs):

Okay, so I zeroed out the partition table inside the logical volume and
tried again. The installer pegged the CPU at 100% and stayed there. Okay,
so maybe that LV is damaged beyond repair. I created a new one out of the
unused space in the VG and tried again. Same result. CPU pegged at 100%,
installer completely unresponsive.
For the benefit of anybody with the same problem, the CPU pegged at 100% +
unresponsive installer problem is this bug:

Fortunately, I can give my VM 2 GB to install, but wow. The combination of
those two bugs is pretty nasty.
