Description of problem: Attempt to install AS5b2, encounter some error (eg: specify wrong folder for HTTP methos), machine no longer boots from the CD ever again (I suspect the hard drive partitions have killed the BIOS's ability to bootstrap) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): beta2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install via HTTP 2. specify wrong folder 3. click the "abort" button when shown 4. attempt to reboot disc1 (fails - black screen forever) Actual results: PC lockup Expected results: disc1 boot Additional info: You should *not* write anything out onto the hard disc *before* you get to the stage where you format it - this includes the partition table, which is probably the reason this kills my PC.

This should be a lot better in RHEL6 as we have done a lot of work with changing the order of the steps around in Fedora 9. If you could please test that release and let us know if you are still seeing these problems, it would be helpful. Thanks.
