Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2004-08-13 22:55:03 EDT

You shouldn't be in runlevel 5 when installing in text mode.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2004-08-16 13:26:52 EDT

Was this a kickstart install?  If so, what was your xconfig line?

Comment 3 Toma 2004-08-16 21:22:49 EDT

No, just a straight Anaconda GUI install with Minimal packages 
installed.

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2004-08-18 17:23:37 EDT

Not sure exactly how that managed to happen, but put in a little bit
more error checking to keep it from happening in the future.
