Description Andrew Jones 2011-10-11 09:02:03 UTC 
An error message saying the bootloader failed to install is displayed, and then the guest completes installation and is allowed to reboot. However it's not bootable - apparently due to the broken bootloader.

I've only seen this with paravirt xen guest installs. fully-virt xen guests install correctly and are bootable afterwards.
Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2011-10-11 13:19:08 UTC 
Please attach /tmp/anaconda.log, /tmp/syslog, and /tmp/program.log from the end of installation (they're in /var/log/anaconda/ post-install) to this bug report.  Thanks.
Comment 2 Andrew Jones 2011-10-11 13:42:53 UTC 
Is there a way to break out of a text-only install to a prompt? I can't use F2 on a graphical install, because graphical installs are broken for xenpv guests too (bug 741950). I may be able to mount the disk image after the failed install, but it's not easy due to LVM being used.
Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2011-10-11 13:53:27 UTC 
^Z ought to work.
Comment 4 Andrew Jones 2011-10-11 14:44:28 UTC 
^Z worked, I'm glad to know it. This looks like the interesting stuff, but I scp'ed off the files and will still attach them.
