Hi Nikhil:

I faced this problem on two Celeron machines.
One had Via chipset m'board and the other was Intel 852 Chipset.
Got around the crash problem without configuring X in the first go.

However, this is not a specific or conclusive answer/solution to
the situation!

Since the packages are anyway installed.
Just fire up the installer and go in for 'upgrade/update' option.
Don't choose any package and let the installation go through,
the installer will create a new entry for the boot loader on the MBR.
Go till the end of the installation process, pull out the CD
and reboot!

This should work fine!
