You shouldn't be in runlevel 5 when installing in text mode.
Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2004-08-16 17:26:52 UTC 
Was this a kickstart install?  If so, what was your xconfig line?
Comment 3 Toma 2004-08-17 01:22:49 UTC 
No, just a straight Anaconda GUI install with Minimal packages 
installed.
Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2004-08-18 21:23:37 UTC 
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.
