I tried to install F9 onto an oldish ASUS, which was already
triple-booting F8, Centos5, and Ubuntu7.10 (which upgraded itself, with
a little help from me, to 8.whatever this week).

	It went happily on for hours, and was apparently installing
Tomboy (God knows why; I don't use it, and thought I had pirutted it
away long ago) -- when it hit an unhandled exception, "probably a bug."
	[...]
	So I haven't filed the bug report, can't, and won't -- afaik,
it's gone, lost in cyberspace. I can't even boot that machine to Fedora
any more. [....]

I am now on that machine, running Ubuntu 8.04 on another partition. I have done the following (knowing F8 to be, or have been, installed on /dev/sda3). I see a couple of new things; if any look to be of any use, let me know what to do and how, and I'll try to get what info I can.

<SNIP>
root@SblzUb:/TEST# ls
bin   Grubberies  lost+found  net                   root     sys   var
boot  halt        media       opt                   sbin     TEST
dev   home        misc        proc                  selinux  tmp
etc   lib         mnt         rhinstall-stage2.img  srv      usr
root@SblzUb:/TEST#  file rhinstall-stage2.img
rhinstall-stage2.img: Squashfs filesystem, little endian, version 3.1, 106729893 bytes, 12005 inodes, blocksize: 131072 bytes, created: Wed May 7 21:52:33 2008 root@SblzUb:/TEST#

	To the best of my knowledge and belief, "halt" and "rhinstall-
stage2.img" are new -- and both show up a different color on my screen than most of the rest. I'm not sure whether anything else is new. I'm thinking that rhinstall thing (note the date!), whatever it is, *might* just maybe still contain the bug report, or at least something of interest to those who understand such things. But all I know of .img files is that I have seen that suffix somewhere before.


If no one else pipes up, my suggestions would be:
A) strings rhinstall-stage2.img |less
	and see if it looks like your bug report.
B) cp rhinstall-stage2.img rhinstall-stage2.img.test
   mount -oro,loop rhinstall-stage2.img.test /mnt/
assuming Squashfs is built into your Ubuntu kernel.
