after rpm grouping (prepare to select packaging), tracebac occurs and
machine reload.  This same problem occurs in 6.2 too.  So I tried 
7.0, same problem still occurs

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. 1 scsci hd 1.0G adaptec 2940 and one ide dr 2.6 G
2. award modular bios eisa and pci system board
3. one eisa token ring and one fe 3com 595.  After removing 3com fe, same problem
    still occurs.
4 just follow installation instruction, after setting locale, then packaging grouping starts
after that, the problme occurs
	

Actual Results:  The following traceback occurs

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 438, in ?
    intf.run(todo, test = test)
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run
