The crash dialog asked you to attach the
files /var/log/partman /var/log/syslog /var/log/installer/syslog

Please do so.

Thanks for your report. Due to some reliability problems with GRUB and XFS, you need to use a non-XFS root filesystem or create a non-XFS /boot filesystem. Bug 47848 is filed to note that the partitioner should warn you about this up-front.
