The report.bug tells me that DrakX did try to install to hde with hde being drive 0x80 (the first one) alas, the bad thing is that due to the error "warning: Perl v18.884.15 required--this is only..." bootloader installation went wrong and lilo never got installed. hopefully fixing the pb with the xfs kernel lying around will fix perl going crazy.
