Please attach the complete exception message to this bug report.  You've only
attached the top part, which is unfortunately the least specific part and
doesn't really convey any useful information about what's going wrong.

It's also not necessary to embed images in an OpenOffice document.  You can
attach JPEG or PNG graphics directly to the Bugzilla report.

Could we please get the *complete* exception message?  What we've received is
still just a little piece of it.

Here is all the information I could gather from serial console. Included 
is debugger help output, which doe snot tell options to save.

The customer hasn't been able to get an anaconda dump to us yet, however James
