Are you using the automatic partitioning?  Someone changed the system
used to generate /etc/fstab, and this broken autopartkit.  The problem
appeared when the kernel was to be installed, and the content of
/target/etc/fstab was bogus.  This was fixed yesterday.

Check the content of fstab, and try to run /usr/lib/partconf/mkfstab
to generate it and see if that helps.
