Install failed after packages installed - no f17 on grub

[William Henry]

Well no feedback from the community :-(

So I ran preupgrade from F16 again on the hunch it would fix up the Rpmdb and should then do a pretty fast install as all the packages are already installed. 

That worked.  So no need for anyone to answer. I have a Beefy Miracle, aptly named for me.

Someone should look at the JBoss-as package issue.

Also perhaps allow people to skip offending application packages in the install rather than force an exit.

Regards,
William

After successfully installing all the rest of the packages using f17 installer process, the install failed due to the rpmdb changing underneath. That was me forcing the JBoss-as installation I guess. So after the installed exited. Reboot shows no beefy miracle in the grub list.
