From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: This is not really a grub issue it is an installer issue but I cannot remember the installers name. I first tried to upgrade my previous fedora 64 install and the installer crashed while installing something i was not standing there so I do not know where. It gave a stack dump and said this is likely to be a bug. I tried to copy the text and save it but the virtual terminals did not work. next I tried a clean install but did not format the drive. This completed but when I rebooted it would not recognize my usb keyboard or mouse so I could not do much with it. I next did a new install and formated the partition. This time I watched it and it crashed while it was installing the boot loader I think. It did the format then a couple quick things flashed by and then a stack dump. So anyway this must be why you recomend a seperate boot partition. Grub was not functional and could not boot much of anything. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: installed fedora 64 from dvd on an athlon 64. installer failed for me 2 out of 3 times so. My machine has been totally solid for other fedora 64 releases and windows 2k. Additional info:
Could you attach the actual dump you received? Without that, it's basically grasping at straws to know what happened.
