Description of problem: Bootloader installer show error "No kernel packages were installed on your system. Your boot loader configuration will not be changed" After rescue boot i can see there is kernel-pae installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 8 i386 DVD How reproducible: Every default Fedora 8 i386 DVD installation. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora 8 i386 DVD 2. Choose default setting (no packages customization). Actual results: No boot loader installed. Can't boot to system. Expected results: Boot loader screen after installation. Additional info: Hardware: Dell Latitude D830 with 4GB of RAM and PAE. Workaround: During installation choose kernel-xen in Virtualization package group.
Fixed in git and we'll include this fix in the updates.img that we're intending to put up this week. Thanks for the report!
I would add another fix - reduce the memory in your system at install time. I have a 6Gb dual Xeon system and scratched my head on this for the last 2 weeks. Finally saw the PAE kernel had been installed, so tried to install with 2Gb RAM. That worked a dream. On first boot I installed the PAE kernel and made it default. On first reboot after that I re-installed RAM. Bit of a pain, but got there in the end.
