I've just put missing /etc/inittab and /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit files into
place - no difference.
Then I've amended grub as you suggested: last line is
"Switching to new
root and running init" Looks like this is the same clue as
above ;-) The
init sequence is non-existent!

Dang - anyone have any idea how to repair this, please?

Hi - can anyone help with an install issue pls?
On reboot after (several repeated!) seemingly good installs I just get
the progress bar at the bottom of the screen that slowly becomes fully
white. On pressing ESC i get four lines saying
reading logical volumes
found vol0...
found vol1...
2 volumes in group vol0 now active
but no disk activity! I've left it overnight but its just hung there.
Any additional diagnosis steps I can perform here?

So I take it that the summary of the problem is:
'I do an install and when I reboot the system it just keeps rebooting, because
the _install_failed_ to install all the stuff init needs to get going.'
[A standard Red Hat\Fedora fault, since RH6, when anaconda blows a fuse.]
Suggestion 1, see if the anaconda log[1] shows anything interesting.
Suggestion 2, see if there are any anaconda bugs that look similar in the
bugzilla.
Suggestion 2.5, if the anaconda log[1] shows any failures or other interesting
things, and there are no similar open bugs, consider opening a BZ Bug against
anaconda and inserting the log in the Bug, or if there is a similar one add
your comments and log to it.
Suggestion 3, somewhere in this thread you mentioned 'a failure to load
agpgart', so I suggest trying to install in text mode, and change to X mode
after install.
[1] IIRC /root/anaconda.log or /var/log/anaconda.[something] of the installed
system, or /var/log/[something, I think messages] of the install system while
installing.
