Sorry about that everyone, and thanks for the sane and helpful replies.
Really I deserved a proper flaming for that last rant so I think the
least I could do is jump back in to some testing, eh?
I'd already been using the latest fc12 test install tree with no luck.
Appending the image from koji at boot did indeed give an apparently
fully functional partitioner this time (previously I had been escaping
to shell to fdisk manually and running the install over VNC) and let me
complete a regular GUI install on my test machine, an U60 SMP box. I
tried a minimal install as well as a default install with Desktop
Environment, etc, and disabled prelink as per usual before reboot.
There is some progress but a regular boot still dies with *lots* of
libc.so.6 segment map errors. Single user mode does equally badly but
does dump me to a prompt eventually with a read-only filesystem that I
can't remount rw. And that's as far as I've got with limited time for
testing.
I'm pretty sure this is the old prelink bug rearing its ugly head again.
Booting into Rescue Mode and running:
prelink -ua && rpm -e prelink
Should do the trick. I think we've got it fixed with the latest update.
