I tried to install F9 onto an oldish ASUS, which was already

It went happily on for hours, and was apparently installing
Tomboy (God knows why; I don't use it, and thought I had pirutted it
away long ago) -- when it hit an unhandled exception, "probably a bug."

So I haven't filed the bug report, can't, and won't -- afaik,
it's gone, lost in cyberspace. I can't even boot that machine to Fedora
any more. [....]
I am now on that machine, running Ubuntu 8.04 on another
partition. I have done the following (knowing F8 to be, or have been,
installed on /dev/sda3). I see a couple of new things; if any look to be
of any use, let me know what to do and how, and I'll try to get what info
I can.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, "halt" and "rhinstall-
stage2.img" are new -- and both show up a different color on my screen
than most of the rest. I'm not sure whether anything else is new.
I'm thinking that rhinstall thing (note the date!), whatever it
is, *might* just maybe still contain the bug report, or at least
something of interest to those who understand such things. But all I know
of .img files is that I have seen that suffix somewhere before.
If no one else pipes up, my suggestions would be:
A) strings rhinstall-stage2.img |less
and see if it looks like your bug report.
B) cp rhinstall-stage2.img rhinstall-stage2.img.test
mount -oro,loop rhinstall-stage2.img.test /mnt/
assuming Squashfs is built into your Ubuntu kernel.
