In my case, it dumped a traceback during the post-install. It DIDN'T seem to save the crash info to a floppy although I asked it to do so. After the reboot, the boot loader wasn't installed and fstab was empty. BTW, I requested a full install to a spare partition (hdb1) on an already functional system w/ GRUB installation to the partition (NOT MBR)

Created attachment 22507 [details] Here is a real traceback thanks to the new anaconda-update.img
/dev/sda, an empty ZIP drive, is the only SCSI disk on my system, but got the same failure writing GRUB to /dev/hda3 .
Should be fixed in CVS. Please reopen this bug if you see this in beta2 or later
