Is rawhide status sort of broken due to kernel, dev stuff (hdx to sdx) or whatever? Or is that part fixed and even installable or whatever now?
Hvaen't tried it in a week or longer, and ended up having to reinstall FC6+updates to get back a usable system.

As pointed out in previous comments, it's perfectly possible to use rescue/install disks which are out of sync to install "FC rawhide". I have used "FC6" and even "FC5" rescue/install disks to install "rawhide" successfully [especially useful when e.g. current "anaconda" is broken on a particular hardware]. :) The problem with the current "rawhide" rescue image is that networking is broken [at least for me], and so no network install can be performed. In my case, the only thing to take care of after using the "FC6" install media was to "chroot" to "/mnt/sysimage" at the end of the install procedure and to reinstall the kernel. Now, current "mkinitrd" [v6.0.6] is used instead of the older one used by the installer, and a valid "initrd" file is created. After that, my "IBM ThinkPad T23" happily boots into "FC devel" using the current "2.6.19" kernel.

I expect that installation is broken, but not really due to kernel or device stuff... more the libdhcp segfault that showed up right before Christmas. But most of us are taking time off over the holidays and so nothing has really changed. Things should start getting back in gear as the week moves forward
