Many people are facing these errors while trying to install Fedora 18:
Failed to save storage configuration
Error checking storage configuration
The fix is to download and install Fedora 17 first, and then upgrade to Fedora 18 like this:
# yum update yum
# yum clean all
# rpm import https://fedoraproject.org/static/DE7F38BD.txt
# yum releasever=18 disableplugin=presto distro-sync
After upgrading, you may experience a black screen with a spinning cursor. This is due to a bug with the polkit package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841451
To fix it press [ctrl]+[alt]+[F2] to get into text mode. Then reinstall polkit and then reboot:
# yum reinstall polkit
# reboot
Hope this helps someone....
P.S. The above was experienced with kernel 3.7.9-205.fc18.i686.
