Image composes are run on F-15 with

using anaconda-16.15-1.fc16.dh.1 + dracut-013-6.fc16

Installation status: FAIL (Bug 733680)

(resolved in dracut-013-8.fc16) when number of CPUs > 1 then "unknown filesystem in squashfs.img" error appears - probably 735199
(resolved in dracut-013-7.fc16) even with 1 CPU I got boots when the CMSCONFFILE wasn't read because CMSDASD device wasn't ready ("could not set device online" error message)
VNC install requires "vnc" in the parameters file
Bug 733680 - DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
Bug 735026 - loader crashes when trying to install in vnc mode

using anaconda-16.16-1.fc16.dh.1 + dracut-013-7.fc16 + systemd-35-1.fc16

Installation status: FAIL (Bug 733680)

using anaconda-16.16-1.fc16.dh.1 + dracut-013-8.fc16 + systemd-35-1.fc16 + rawhide-20110831 tree

Installation status: FAIL (Bug 733680)

using anaconda-16.16-1.fc17.dh.1 (contains fix for Bug 733680) + actual rawhide tree (pre-beta)

Installation status: FAIL (Bug 739620)

Bug 739620 - ValueError: No description available for dasd
Bug 739828 - filtering screen shows loop devices
Bug 739846 - Traceback when starting the installation with "vnc" parameter on s390x

using anaconda-16.18-1.fc16.dh.1 (contains fix for Bug 733680) + actual rawhide tree (pre-beta)

Installation status: FAIL (Bug 739620)

Bug 740341 - inconsistent output of dmsetup table (fixed in lvm2-2.02.86-5.fc16.dh.1)
I have possible fix for bug 739620, so the installation now fails on installing the bootloader

using anaconda-16.18-1.fc16.dh.2 (contains fixes for Bug 733680 and Bug 739620) + actual rawhide tree (pre-beta)

Bug 740576 - root is set to kernel file (anaconda-written zipl.conf contains "root=/boot/vmlinuz-3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.0.fc16.s390x")
no "reboot" button/screen at the end of installation, last screen has "installing bootloader", which IS installed

using anaconda-16.18-1.fc16.dh.3 (contains fixes for bugs 733680, 739620, 740576) + actual rawhide tree (pre-beta)

bug 740858
- last entry in anaconda.log is "07:04:30,454 INFO anaconda: Writing autokickstart file" and /root/anaconda-ks.cfg isn't created yet
- with the reipl step in anaconda being a no-op I get to the final Congrats&reboot anaconda screen
Bug 744196 - Traceback when writing partitioning on DASD drive
anaconda finishes successfully and the installed system boots with the workaround (= no reipl step) applied

using anaconda-16.21-1.fc16.dh.1 (contains fixes for bugs 733680, 739620, 740576) + actual rawhide tree (post-beta)

using anaconda-16.22-1.fc16.dh.1 (contains fixes for bugs 733680, 739620, 740576) + actual rawhide tree (post-beta)

(upstream commited) the addrsize utility isn't built in anaconda any more and thus lorax fails after writing kernel.img and initrd.img => moved to lorax - patch
(upstream commited) anaconda dropped the mk-s390-cdboot tool in version 16 => remove relevant code also from lorax - patch
pungi shouldn't include s390 compat packages in the installer image/repo - patch
