ASUS P3V4X with VIA Apollo Pro133A chipset
PIII 933 MHz with 256 MB 133 MHz ECC RAM

Graphic install nice untill Summary and Printer, it might be important to 
understand that all subsequent problems might be caused by the Installer when 
having problem 'opening RPM database', i.e. bootdisk and grub.

Installation bails out after bootloading with the same message on RPM

Printer from report.bug

&c

OBS!    The missing floppy module, this is the same in Ctrl-Alt-F2+bug, now back 
to ext2, but no floppy module.

There is something about a hashfile corrupt when the box is rebooting

OBS!    Network good from Install but report.bug has earlier reported problems.
