I understand the guts of Anaconda are changing to use yum and that it is being actively worked on. Given that, are bug reports useful/wanted?
I tried installing Oct 25th rawhide on my Thinkpad T42p using the images/boot.iso and a NFS shared rawhide tree.
I noticed two problems:
1. X failed to start (all three attempts) with the following error in the various X.log files:
[snip] Synaptics no synaptics event device found (checked 10 nodes) Synaptics The /dev/input/event* device nodes seem to be missing Query no Synaptics: 6003C8 (EE) Synaptics no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device (EE) Synaptics Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware. (EE) PreInit failed for input device "Synaptics" No core pointer
Fatal server error: failed to initialize core devices [snip]
I tried plugging in a usb mouse, but the same error still happened.
2. Skipping X and trying either a VNC or text mode install quickly resulted in failure with a python traceback in yum code, I think it was the "MDrepo" class or something close to that.
