Consequently system would not finish installing after initial restart. However, /boot/grub/menu.lst.old has the OS 12.1-M5 listing. The solution was to rename menu.lst to menu.lst.saved and rename menu.lst.old to menu.lst. This allowed correct reboot and finishing installation. This is to be a dual boot with windows-7 already installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install OS 12.1-M5(0250) from DVD after re-formatting root (/) partition. 2.Initial reboot during install goes directly to windows. 3.Rename menu.lst to menu.lst.saved and menu.lst.old to menu.lst 4.System then reboots into OS 12.1 correctly and finishes instalation. Actual Results: During repeated attempts to install OS 12.1-M5 to freshly re-formatted partition it went into windows after first reboot. Expected Results: Boot into OS 12.1 and finish installation.
