Comment 13 for bug 499399

No improvement on the message of 2010-01-17, using the alternate CD image of 24 January and just doing a command-line install.

I got a glimpse of part of a message "NAK bailout" before the recovery menu screen covered it up.

Also, it's affecting my network hardware.

The ethernet temporarily acquires a new MAC address, ethernet address of eth1 instead of eth0, and a new IP address from the router (which thinks it's a different machine). This is a nuisance because I'm running a couple of server packages on it and it confuses the other computers on the LAN.

Turning the power off at the wall restores the address etc to normal.
