Yep, same one I tried booting iso via grub2 on a hardware install.

On VB guest and separate hw system my http install errors out before xorg paints screen and reboots see bug 19430.

I guess I don't understand.

What do you mean with "the very end"? 

The screen that tells you that installation is complete, and that you should remove your boot medium before hitting enter?

Or does it reboot before stage2 starts?

If the latter, then this looks like Bit Twister's bug report (bug 19430)

I think I mean that just before it moves on to the full GUI
interface ( Stage 2 ? ) it just goes back all the way to
the beginning where it presents the "boot:" terminal.

Yeah, the full GUI is stage 2

thanks. So this is 99,99% sure a duplicate of bug 19430

The fix should be in drakx-installer-stage2-17.57-1.mga6 that was pushed over 17 hours ago
