This is regardless of the selected driver and happens with every driver with: *** glibc detected *** /sbin/loader: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x09bc7388 *** ======= Backtrace: ======== [...deleted...] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from DVD with kernel option "noprobe" to force a driver selection. 2. Select NFS installation 3. You will be prompted for a driver to select and load 4.

is this better in F9-Alpha? A quick test here didn't show a segfault, and I know we've made some changes to this code since F8.
I can confirm, that there is no backtrace in F9-Alpha. Well done!
Hooray, something works!
