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)
- 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
general anaconda/lorax/pungi/... issues
- (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
