installation attempt rawhide 2005-12-23 - failed

[G.Wolfe Woodbury]

I attempted to do a clean install of today's rawhide (2005-12-23) and it
fails after /sbin/loader with a kernel Oops!

The traceback mentions selinux, but I couldn't capture all the details.
Since when has there been a three minute countdown in oopses?

work1: Celeron (Coppermine) @ 500MHz  256MB RAM
       VIA Chipset IDE etc.         Trident Cyberblade/i1 AGP
       etc.

Please do, and file in bugzilla.
(Unless it has..
EIP is at con_set_trans_new+0x2b/0x48
with a trace that looks like..
 vt_ioctl
 unmap_page_range
 selinux_file_ioctl
 vt_ioctl

as that one got filed earlier.

Since about two weeks ago. It now gives people time to scribble
stuff down/take a photo before the interesting bits scroll off the screen.

That's the one.  I figured someone else had to have seen it.

it's an add-on in the fc5 kernel only right now. I'll be sending
it upstream after 2.6.15 is released.

Indeed it could.  Just fixed it in CVS, thanks for the poke.

one very minor nitpick about the timer, could it print "%d seconds " 
(note the trailing space) rather than "%d seconds" so that as the 
counter drops from 100 to 99 and from 10 to 9 it doesn't leave an 
orphaned "s" behind, which leads it to display "1 secondsss"
