I have the same problem, or at least the problem I am facing shows the same symptoms. It shows up in both fedora 39 and 40. 

I just finished debugging it, and it is 100% due to Infiniband and IPoIB. I see that rdma-core also appears in your log, so I guess you have similar hardware. For now, the workaround I found to pinpoint the issue was to disable the card from ipmi. Tomorrow I will try to blacklist ipoib or mlx5_core and see how it goes.

By the way, I looked a little in Anaconda, and I guess that the problem is not strictly Anaconda itself but is linked to Dbus and the publication of a payload interface.

So if you don't need IB at installation time, blacklisting:

• mlx5_core
• mlx5_ib
• ib_ipoib works.
