With todays (x86_64) tree I have three problems:

1. I'm forced into a text install because X doesn't come up. The error 
messages are forced off the screen before I had a chance to copy them, and 
don't appear to be logged, but they looked like what I got when I after install

first booted: complaints about rhpl.monitor.py and rhpl.mouse.py being
depricated, 
followed by: "ImportError: no module named simpleconfig" from import rhxpl.

2. Doing a custom partitioning, with 7G free on a drive, asking to use all 
space remaining for swap gave me 1992 MB swap area and 5G still unused.

3. I made /dev/md0 out of /dev/sda1 and sdb1, and at the end of install grub 
was run on both disks:

grub> root (hd1,0)
filesystem is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd
grub> install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd1) /boot/grub/stage2 p
(hd1,0)/boot/grub/grub.conf
grub> root (hd0,0)
filesystem is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd
grub> install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 p
(hd0,0)/boot/grub/grub.conf
Error 16: Inconsistent filesystsem structure

The system did not boot. With a grub floppy and giving:

grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> configfile /boot/grub/grub.conf

I could boot.
