Things that have been noticed so far:

• Fedora switched to GPT partition tables by default; turn it off by passing kernel flag 'nogpt'. This is uncommitted on c-o. Ideally, we should just forgo partition tables altogether, which Mitch claims is not too difficult to do, but which I haven't figured out how yet.

• Xen needs this patch series ​http://old-list-archives.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-10/msg01404.html unfortunately they haven't been backported to Xen 4.0 or Xen 4.1 yet. (We specifically need only patches 2, 4 and 5). The pygrub executable patch is fuzzy, but easy to manually apply. Otherwise you won't be able to boot because the bootloader returns no data. Currently c-o has had its pygrub manually patched with these patches; we should talk to backports or package up these changes ourselves. The idea is to just install another pygrub, and then ask Xen to use it instead.

• Selinux isn't being disabled ​​https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=824216

• F17-Beta is horribly broken. As a result, the installer files downloaded by scripts-server are Wrong, and should be replaced with the copy from development/17, or resolv.conf will be empty during install.

Every other initscript I used carefully avoids Thing Horrible if you try to restart OpenAFS on package upgrade. This one doesn't.

At the moment, if you run cronload with no arguments, it'll give you an error message from cat, and wipe your crontab:

[asa@cats-whiskers]:~/Scripts/django/db2.0/asadb$ cronload
/bin/cat: : No such file or directory
New crontab for asa:

[asa@cats-whiskers]:~/Scripts/django/db2.0/asadb$ 

Instead, it should give you a nice error message and not touch your crontab, or something.
