Hi,
I've get with the same problem one month ago. Have you make your own distro FC3 with Fedora updates or have you put first CD's RPM ?
The problem was the same when i've tried to install the distro with FC3 CD directly with updated RPMs, but what is strange is that i've get the problem only on one server on not on others

Hi,
In my case, i've 2 customised distros:- 1. FC3 with updated packages 2. FC3 with lots of packages removed, fit into single CD, edited and rebuilt comps.xml and comps.rpm
both are getting installed and working fine but the bootloader is not getting installed. What i do presently is take original FC3(not updated or anything) CD1 and after installation of my customised FC3, I use this to boot into rescue mode. There I 'grub-install' to the mbr.
But I would like to have the Installation do this as it ought to. Any ideas?
P.S. I get the problem on all machines!

Hi,
I've solved the problem as you do it by using the grub bootloader from the original FC3 CD1 directly in my distro. It is possbile that when using the updated grub RPM something goes wrong with libraries during the buildinstall or simply the installation. Try with the original grub version from FC3 CD1 and tell me.
Maybe sometimes it's also possible that your mbr is corrupt, so try to delete it with fdisk or dd

Is this i686 or x86_64? Grub had a lot of problems in x86_64 in FC3.
- FC3 with updated packages
Did you update GRUB as well? Hopefully that should fix it really.
You could just put a read tmp in your %post to pause it while you go in poke around with grub manually. I remember that FC3 GRUB used to segfault a lot for me when I did this. I could use a rescue environment to patch things up afterwards but in the %post install stage GRUB was b0rked.
