when I talked to jj shortly afterward, he said not to worry abou t it.
I'm not really sure if it was resolved or not. Lou also said
something about it--I think he had some ideas he wanted to try.
I think they are dealing.

I assume this is after the re-install? Did you try installing a known
working machine just to double check that a problem hasn't crept into
the install process? The other thing you can try is to use the other
sun install server. I wouldn't normally suggest that this might be
the problem, but someone might have been doing something to the
install servers in preparation for 8.0 going to beta, I'm not sure.
If the known working machine installs correctly, and using the other
install server doesn't help, I'm not sure what the problem is. If you
decided that there is something wrong with one or both of the install
servers please send op mail ASAP, so we can lookinto the problem.
