Firstboot Error Report

Description of problem:

Problem with firstboot_kdump module.
firstboot fails on installation of Fedora 10.  Error log appears to indicate that there is a missing Module: fucntions

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora Core 10 installed from DVD as NEW INSTALL

How reproducible:
YES
I have installed on both a Dell Optiplex 745 Desktop and HP Pavilion dv4000 Laptop. Both installs produced the same error.

On the HP Pavilion dv4000, I had initially installed Fedora Core 10 as an UPGRADE from Fedora Core 7 ( choosing UPGRADE instead of NEW INSTALL ), and the error did NOT occur. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Fedora Core 10 from DVD as NEW INSTALL
2.Selected all initially available repositories and all packages
3.After Install completes, REBOOT
  
Actual results:
Upon REBOOT an error message appears indicating there is a problem with firstboot_kdump module and firstboot did not run because of an error.  Also, indicating that a module called functions could not be found.

Expected results:
Since the error has occurred on multiple computers on multiple attempts, the results on the 2 computers mentioned are expected to be a failing  'firstboot'  program, because of a missing module 'functions'.

Additional info:

copy of contents of firstboot-yjHShz:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/firstboot/loader.py", line 87, in loadModules
    loaded = imputil.imp.load_module(module, found[0], found[1], found[2])
  File "/usr/share/firstboot/modules/firstboot_kdump.py", line 34, in <module>
    import functions
ImportError: No module named functions
