From memory its on the third or 4th console.
I have uploaded screen captures of both 4th and 5th consoles: 4th console: http://www.imagebam.com/image/31f323143427738 5th console: http://www.imagebam.com/image/40b4fa143427758 Looks like from the 4th console it says: "set SELinux context for mountpoint /boot/efi to system_u:object_r:boot_t:s0" Followed by the error: "FSError: mount failed: (9, None)" Does this information help diagnose the problem? I really hope to be able to install SL 6.1. Thanks.
