	Yep, that's this one:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/442685

	Basically, the x86_64 kernel-xen doesn't currently have support for
running 32 binaries, so grub-install fails at the very end of the
install and anaconda hangs.

	If you just reboot the guest at that point, all is well since pygrub
doesn't actually need grub-install to have been run.

	It's on F9Blocker and hopefully we'll fix it either with an ugly,
temporary hack in anaconda or by getting ia32 support into
kernel-xen.x86_64.

	(You wouldn't have seen the bug looking at PvOpsTracker because I moved
PvOpsTracker from F9Blocker to F9Tracker and moved #442685 from
PvOpsTracker to F9Blocker)

Cheers,
Mark.
