I hit it 4 times on 4 machines last week, seems to be very simple. You need to switch to the console with a shell on it and kill grub, it is in a cpu loop.
Then do a chroot to the root of the install tree (/mnt/install I think) and run grub there.
Inside grub to
root (hd0,x) setup (hd0)
that assumes hd0 is the disk containing the /boot directory and x is the partition number on that disk.
Then return to the installer and complete the installation.

Hi all,
Noticed a small issue with XFS file system and the setting up grub on FC3. I have found that if you are using XFS on the /boot partition the installer hangs when trying to install the boot loader. Basically it says installing boot loader and the hour Glass just spins and spins but it never finishes.
I found the same issue on FC2. If I install the ext3 on the boot partition there in no issue. I can then have XFS on the / and any other partitions.
Any thought or comment or should I just go straight to Bugzilla?
