Hmm, how did you test Sunday's rawhide when it doesn't yet exist? :)

I've been doing various graphical and text-based kickstart installs
today of x86_64, and everything seems fine to me. Furthermore, I have
appropriate repodata.

[jstanley at rugrat repodata]$ pwd

I don't think you passed the 'ext4' option to anaconda.
