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.

Yes, bug reports are still useful as long as they're not about how group selection is busted. That's what is seeing the active work right now.
- 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.

I fixed this on 10/14 and we did a build later that day, so it should be fine. On a test machine here, I see /dev/input/event{0-3} being created. After X fails, can you switch over to tty2 and check that those exist?
- Skipping X and trying either a VNC or text mode install quickly

This should have been fixed within the past couple days, too. Are you sure you are using a 10/25 tree?

The tree I was using was 10/24.
I'm rsyncing my tree right now and try again today.

I still experienced the same error using a 10/25 tree.

This is because Chris changed it so we make the device nodes after starting X. Less useful. The beating will commence shortly ;-)

Last night I installed rawhide on my laptop with no issues. I can confirm that both of these are now fixed.
