I've been unsuccessful in installing t3 from dvd on a
standard intel x86-64 chipset box. I think the problem is
that I have one partition ( not root ) that's lvm.
I asssume this will all be fixed for t4. Has anybody figured
out how to install before then?

Next stop is FC6 Final, we only ever do 3 test releases per cycle.

No matter how broken or screwed up the test releases are...

pretty much.. if there's a need due to _reported_ horrible bugs we
normally slip the release but we have never made more than 3 test
releases in a cycle.
Just remember if it's not in bugzilla it doesn't exist, I would
recommend reporting any bug you encounter, if it's a really serious one
set it to block FC6Target, FC6Blocker or any other relevant meta bug.

Well, maybe this is something that I'm just not noticing, as Rawhide has been
working wonderfully for me for the past several days (with only a few minor
AIGLX/Compiz issues). I reverted back to FC5+updates for a while because I
needed known-working stuff, but the awesome new stuff in Rawhide was too
tempting to stay away from (especially the new artwork and GNU_HASH stuff). :O
Would this be something specific to installing from the DVD media? I upgraded
my box via Yum...

Yep. Rawhide tree itself seems to be doing ok. The test3 installer had
some bugs but if people are interested they can try doing a network
installation to check if problems still exist.
Please file bug reports if you are going to complain about breakages.

I was unable to install yesterday's tree (on PC or iBook) because I got
no fonts in X and an apparent anaconda dump at the start of the GUI
install phase:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207118
I haven't seen a new tree yet today.
BTW: I also cannot network boot an iBook without surgery on the
ramdisk.image.gz file because it is too big for yaboot to load:

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

I think we have this fixed, but I'm also waiting for a new tree to
verify that.

For the last few days, I'd get complaints about not being able to find
librt while getting pango modules, geting gtk2 input methods and geting
gtk2 pixbuf loaders. This is when building the installation tree. Today,
the errors are gone. What a shame I forgot to back-level Orca, so I guess
i'll be doing it again.
HTH.

That is indeed fixed in today's tree.
Anyone have any ideas on the fix for this one:

Yep. I posted it earlier.
After you do the install, boot with the "rescue option" on the install
dvd.
When you get a prompt:
chroot /mnt/sysmount
cd /boot
mkinitrd --image-version --nocompress initrd `uname -r`
Then add this line to the /etc/grub.conf entry:
initrd /initrd-<kernelversion>
save, sync and reboot.

My problem is that _install_ dies when " Searching for
previous installations". Nothing gets installed.
When you get a prompt:
chroot /mnt/sysmount
cd /boot
mkinitrd --image-version --nocompress initrd `uname -r`
Then add this line to the /etc/grub.conf entry:
initrd /initrd-<kernelversion>

The 64bit FC6T3 would hang up on me at this point every time until I
disconnected my second harddrive (/home).
I had it formatted xfs and FC6T3 seems to choke if it sees a filesystem
other than ext3, it won't even let you reformat it.
I simply installed on the first drive and then after it was finished I
added /home to fstab and I was away to the races.
I should also add that anaconda as delivered in the T3 DVD is badly
broken.
When first booting the DVD, at the "boot:" prompt, do a network install
by typing
linux askmethod
I did a http install from
download.fedora.redhat.com
pub/fedora/linux/core/development/x86_64/os
mind you, this gets you rawhide which is more up to date that T3 (it
also takes a while).
At least this has been my experience.
