Firstboot fails with syntax error

Seeing all the 408+ updates, I figured it would be a time to try a
complete install from the development tree.  After rsync'ing my mirror,
I burned boot.iso to a CDRW and began.

Anaconda and an HTTP install worked fine.

There are still a bunch of avc messages during the boot process.

Firstboot failed.  Running it from the console yeilds:

-------------------------
[root at tembo root]# firstboot
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/firstboot/firstboot.py", line 27, in ?
    import firstbootBackend
  File "/usr/share/firstboot/firstbootBackend.py", line 22
    def chkconfigOff()
                     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
[root at tembo root]#
-------------------------

Someone else mentioned "rpc_pipefs not supported by this kernel"

There is also a Keyboard configuration error during the graphical login
process.  I have no way to capture the output of that error, but it
seems to be complaining about XKB failing.  The keyboard works
afterwards and the "hwbrowser" reports most things fine.

My "fdomain" SCSI is detected fine and the module is properly inserted
during boot.

My CMI8330 sound card is still not detected correctly.

My 3c509 (Etherlink III) is not detected either by anaconda or during
boot.  I have to hand configure it in system-config-network.

Off I go to bugzilla.
