Thanks to jkatz work yesterday on anaconda, all the necessary drivers
are back in the initrd.img file to allow for booting, loading and
startup to proceed, the installer fails after anaconda startup due to a
lockup of the X server very early in the anaconda run.

Symptoms are that the anaconda 11.0.5.9 loads and starts, the screen
clears and the video modes are set, but X-Windows never initializes the
graphical display to see the rest of the installer.  There is a complete
lockup of the keyboard so that none of the usual keyboard salutes allow
a graceful exit; the only  option is a hard reset from the front panel.
