I just removed and re-imported my F17 distro and profiles from the mirror
(I tried using the ISO, but couldn't get it to work). I took notes on the
error that results when booting from the F17-PAE-i386 image and here's what
I get:
[ 12.846909] dracut: anaconda using disk root at /dev/sr0
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[ 12.857996] dracut Warning: no suitable images
dracut Warning: no suitable images
[ 34.925756] dracut Warning: Unable to process initqueue
dracut Warning: Unable to process initqueue
[ 34.926450] dracut Warning: /dev/root does not exist
dracut Warning: /dev/root does not exist
Dropping to debug shell.
dracut:/#
Does anything there look familiar to anyone?

I don't use kickstart yet, mostly because each system I set up ends up
being so customized that I haven't figured out a way to leverage kickstart
well. That's why those sections are completely empty.
