Thanks for the info. I tried to cheat by only creating an updates.img
hoping that the isys.c changes would not hit me, but while I did get
past the issue I had anaconda bailed out on _isys.mount.

I wanted to shorten the feedback cycle, as the images were gone for
some time and now seem to get back with a two day update
frequency. I'll try the next rawhide images and if that doesn't work,
I'll go the F8->upgrade to rawhide route.
