I recall seeing this on mailing lists, but I didn't see a bug for it. So here it is :). At the end of install, anaconda dumps out this exception: anaconda 11.4.0.61 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iutil.py", line 62, in execWithRedirect stdout.write("Running... %s\n" %([command] + argv,)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/instdata.py", line 177, in write root = self.anaconda.rootPath) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/backend.py", line 222, in writeConfiguration anaconda.id.write() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 208, in moveStep rc = stepFunc(self.anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 131, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 702, in run anaconda.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1049, in <module> anaconda.intf.run(anaconda) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'write' The system minimally boots - i.e. grub is installed. There is no grub.conf and therefore no menu. Manually inputting required grub info gets me to a point where it complains about permission denied attempting to open /etc/fstab, and I cannot login.
This is fixed in the latest build of anaconda.
