Description of problem:
ananconda crashed during upgrade from CD-ROM, in the initial dialogs before
installing any packages.  I used text mode, English, US keyboard, USB mouse (3
buttons), no customize package list, upgrade 1 of 2 partitions (hda3 has RHL8.0
and no boot loader [use floppy instead]; hda5 has RHL7.3 and uses GRUB in MBR
with hda1 as /boot), Skip boot loader updating, crash.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. CD-ROM boot from KRUD linux (tummy.com) 2002-12-01, which is RHL8.0 with all
upgrades applied as of the 1st of each month.
2. boot "linux text"; English; US keyboard; USB mouse (3 buttons), no customize
package list; upgrade 1 of 2 partitions
3. Skip boot loader updating
	

Actual Results:  Upgrade Boot Loader Configuration

The installer is unable to detect the boot loader
currently in use on your system.

( ) Update boot loader configuration
(*) Skip boot loader updating
( ) Create new boot loader configuration
