+<PRE>Not getting very far at all with M2beta2 x86_64. Similar problems on 2
+machines, one laptop one desktop, both of them 4 yrs old or so. md5 of
+the install disk is OK.
+
+1. Choosing lilo at install always results in failure to boot. The
+system sits frozen showing boot linux message. Looking at the system
+via M1 from another partition showed syslog had not been created yet (at
+least on the laptop after 1st failed lilo boot - its there on desktop
+after several reboots)
+
+2. re-running the whole install as new install, keeping everything the
+same, but choosing grub results in a bootable beta2. I then select
+update all sources and allow this to complete. Then select update your
+system, it updates glibc and a short list of other things, then
+terminates silently; I'd expected it would come back with an extended
+list of packages to update. Re-running update manually, MCC brings up
+the 'Please wait' sliding progress bar, then immediately above it &quot;A
+fatal error occurred: Couldn't open RPM DB () at
+/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14.2/Rpmdrake/open_db.pm line 74..&quot;
+
+i.e. I either can't boot it with lilo or can't update it if I got it up
+via grub.
+
+3. Related prblem I guess. Going in via MCC, vi hardware, to set
+screen stuff has been very flakey. It now tells me needs to install
+task-x11. OK-ing this gives a brief note about preparing packages
+installation, results in failure &quot;unable to open rpmdb&quot;
+
+I'm chasing around in circles with this. Do I need to put these in
+separate critical bug reports?
