*where* does it crash?  After package installation?

Comment 6 Brent Fox 2001-07-24 21:14:17 UTC
This is a dupe of bug #46810.  I think this was resolved by beta 2.  Please
reopen if it is not.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 46810 ***

Comment 7 Bryan Leopard 2001-07-30 19:16:37 UTC
After all selected packages are installed, Anaconda proceeds through the 'post-
installation configuration' step, then attempts to load the bootloader selected 
earlier during the installation interview.

Anaconda crashes *here*, if GRUB was selected here as the bootloader earlier 
during the installation interview.

============================== 
Re-tested with beta 2 on DL 380G2. Anaconda crases at end of the   installation 
(during Installing bootloader).
