Where did you download your CD image? Have you verified that it is good with media check? I see you installed with the defaults. Does this include package selection, or did you make some changes there?
I create my CD by using wget on the following URL: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/ (Or from one of the mirrors) And then just use the same .discinfo file from the original FC5t1 download. This way I can burn a rawhide DVD image even if one package changes (hehe). Well, the script to do the downloading and creating the DVD image is a little complex but it seems to work (although the media check will not work this way - I think this value is stored in the .discinfo file - how would I update that?). I also wrote a C++ program that will read the index.html or .listing file generated from wget and delete obsolete files (I should work for you guys ;). If this is not a good idea, let me know and I'll download the FC5t2 images. And I'm not making any changes to the package selections during install. Thanks.
FYI - I've tried anaconda-10.91.7-1.i386.rpm - same problem.
Please test with the FC5t2 images as it's hard for us to verify against self-created images against rawhide snapshots. Does an nfs/http installation of rawhide just using the boot.iso work?
Ok, will do. Yes, it works great. I use the isolinux/isolinux.bin as the boot image. I'll attach my scripts/source if you wanna see how I do it. Using ftp is better than http since Apache creates links within listings which makes a mess with wget. Thanks.

OK, I tried the FC5t2 images and it works. I will close this ticket (NOTABUG). My appologies.
