Description of problem:
After upgrading window 98 to window-me, I lost LILO.  I followed resolution as 
documented in http://kb.redhat.com/view.php?eid=94 to do an upgrade.  After 
selecting create boot disk and create LILO, the installer started the upgrade 
process.  Then it threw an exception and asked me to report a bug.  The message 
was:
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 19,

    rc = self.todo.doInstall ()

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start installer using CD-ROM
2.Follow instructions to upgrade
3.On the page to create LILO, select create boot disk and create LILO.  Choose 
install LILO boot record on dev/hda MBR.  Whether selecting default boot 
partition to be dos or linux did not change the result (i.e. same exception 
threw).
4. Select "next"

	

Actual Results:  Installer started to process.  Then exception was thrown.

Expected Results:  Installer should continue to start upgrading.

Additional info:

I also tried to use the boot disk to boot.  It failed to boot up.  So I cannot 
get into Linux at all.
