I have been unable to get rawhide installed on my testbed machine.

I'm getting some wierd decodedmi crashes and odd label remnants.
By wierd, I mean that they don't always trigger anaconda crashes that
get an exception/report dialogue box.

I'll admit that I haven't (yet) filed BZs for this, but they are coming
soon (next time I try the install sequence.)
