Daniel,
If you're willing to temporarily rename the existing installation root (and the registry keys) and reinstall from scratch, please post the /var/log/setup.log and /var/log/setup.log.full from an install session that exhibits the above problem. Note that /var/log/setup.log.full is overwritten every time you run setup. After the install, you can rename the old directory back (and the registry keys, if you did something fancy with mounts or options -- otherwise they should be identical).
I did that, but didn't get any errors. Does setup store *any* information about package selections, and if so where? I'd like to help with the debug, but it seems that since my manual package selection that made things work, that I can't replicate the error without removing all traces of my package selections.
Thanks,
Daniel
