Comment 4 for bug 160256

The issue can't be reproduced by booting with the 7.10 LiveCD, though it still exists when booting off the hard drive.

The LiveCD of HH Alpha 2 boot properly (I tried it several times to make sure).

To test for this fix, I wiped the drive and attempted to install HH Alpha 2. The instillation failed with an unexpected shutdown during the automated installation process.

I then attempted to install 7.10, and this installation seemed to fail in the same way, with the computer simply turning off with no warning.

Installing 6.10 seemed to work smoothly.

I'll attempt to install 7.10 a couple more times to see if this in an intermittent bug. My hunch is that the unexpected shutdowns during install are related to the underlying problem in this case. Where can I find the install log, or how can I go about determining where in the installation process it fails?
