You kind of imply it, but don't say so I'll ask -- you told anaconda
there's another OS to boot as well, right?

Can you attach the /root/anaconda-ks.cfg, the /etc/grub.conf it writes
out, and /boot/grub/device.map into the bug when you file it?

It's likely an anaconda failure, but it could still be it or "booty" at
this point.

I don't think I've seen this as a bug, but there's always the chance we
reduce this to some bug we've seen before -- go ahead and file it, if it
turns out to be a dupe we can pick whichever report looks more useful to
keep open, and the other one will still be available.
