I really like the way you can install Fedora with all current updates applied.  
Of course, that can also bite you in the read end sometimes ... which appears 
to be the case with F12 alpha ... there appears to be a problem with the 
kernel in rawhide whereas the kernel on the DVD/CD is OK.

works-for-me work around:

  - bootup in rescue mode from the F12alpha DVD/CD

  - chroot to the system

  - mount the DVD/CD

  - install the kernel from the DVD/CD ...
         [rpm  -ivh  --oldpackage  <kernel_from_DVD/CD>]

recommendation:  install f12alpha only from the DVD/CDs, apply updates 
"carefully"
