Yes, my testing on Fedora 7 is rare.  I run rawhide all the time on all
my boxes and have been doing so for many, many years now.  I do quick
checks with Fedora 7 occasionally (and will do a larger set of them
before pushing an update to Fedora 7 within the next few weeks), but to
a large extent, if you're wanting to run on not the development tree and
are following livecd-tools.git, you may hit rough patches and need to
send patches[1].

Yeah, I accidentally (well, I knew it when I was writing the code, I
just forgot when I was committing and pushing) enabled verify as the
default when cleaning up some of the support for multiple kernels.  As
dmc noticed, though, that should be fixed up in current .git.

Need more details here to know what's going on.  What exactly is the
panic you're seeing?  The image I built this morning is fine.

See above

Hrmm -- on Thursday or Friday, there was something a little funky in the
policy package with fresh installs.  If you were seeing problems that
were SELinux related, that could well be the cause.  But that looks to
be fixed in today's rawhide
