The problem isn't really grub,
that's just more of a symptom. For some reason, when I run anaconda
with x86_64, when anaconda goes to add packages to the transaction set,
it adds both the i386 RPM, and the x86_64 RPM, even though there's no
i386 packages on the system
This results in file conflicts when it installs the RPMs from the
transaction set, obviously.
To make the problem even weirder, the problem only occurs when I run
the python script below (to determine hard-drive partition sizes).
I'm using a fairly old version of anaconda, 11.1.2.87, to be exact.
I'll check out a more recent version, but I hate reworking the scripts
I have, as it's extremely time-consuming to go through the buildinstall
script and figure out the new way of calling it to build an iso.

There was a temporary issue where grub was not present in one of the

again in a couple of days.

I'm having an unusual problem. I recently re-wrote my ks.cfg %pre script in
python, and now anaconda can't install 64bit.
32bit installs fine, but 64bit fails with a file conflict.
I put some debug code in an updates.img, and I got the following error message
in anaconda.log
20:33:27 ERROR : [('file /sbin/grub conflicts between attempted installs of
grub-0.97-13 and grub-0.97-13', (6, '/sbin/grub', 0L)), ('file /usr/bin/mbchk
conflicts between attempted installs of grub-0.97-13 and grub-0.97-13', (6, '/
usr/bin/mbchk', 0L)), ('file /usr/share/doc/syslinux-3.11/sample/fd.o conflicts
between attempted installs of syslinux-3.11-4 and syslinux-3.11-4', (6, '/usr/
share/doc/syslinux-3.11/sample/fd.o', 0L))]
So I look further up the anaconda.log, and I see this:
20:33:16 DEBUG : Member: grub.x86_64 0-0.97-13 - u
20:33:16 DEBUG : Adding Package grub - 0.97-13.x86_64 in mode u
20:33:16 DEBUG : Member: grub.i386 0-0.97-13 - u
20:33:16 DEBUG : Adding Package grub - 0.97-13.i386 in mode u
and then it occurs to me that all packages are being added twice, once for
i386, and once for x86_64.
This is my new %pre script, and it doesn't matter whether it's a separate
script that I put on the CD image, or called in the ks.cfg with "%pre
--interpreter /usr/bin/python"
Judging from the amount of patches flying by, I know you guys are busy, but if
somebody can think of a reason why anaconda would be adding nonexistent,
conflicting i386 packages because of a %pre script, I would greatly appreciate
it.
