Hi

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

Oh dear.  It had finally gotten working for me, too.  A shame...
There has yet to be someone to own up to rpmlib prob, .pm prob, or
otherwise, and it is not a package problem.  Sad.
