This would be the rather brown-paper-bag-ish

checked we were still working out the precise implications of that one.
This sounds like another of them.

I should remember to check common bugs, but since I follow this list I'm normally familiar with the existing issues. But after looking at the entry, it wouldn't have been helpful to my case since it says there shouldn't be any issues. In this case, the problem is cross-interface matching. The ethernet interface was created with one name and the vlan references that one. However, after rebooting the ethernet interface has a different name, so the vlan can't find it and fails.

Didn't detect my timezone.  Not a big deal, but I was hoping it would
since there's been some discussion here about it working.

We'd probably need the apparent public IP address of the system you were
installing on to debug this one.

I just tested the ip against the fedora geoip service and it returns the correct info. I wonder if there is something timing related. Since I had to setup the vlan interface before it had internet access, maybe it was too late for the lookup.

Eventually I read the instructions carefully

You damn dirty liar. You are CLEARLY not a Fedora user.

It was my last resort! And since I was installing the gateway server, I didn't have internet access to use Google or ask on the mailing list. ;-)

  and then looked at the
mount point entry again and saw that it wasn't disabled.  I wonder if
there is some way to make it more obvious...

Trumpets? :)

Sure! I don't know, maybe a different color, but that gets into other issues... It's not a huge deal, but in the sea of grey, the one black label didn't stick out much.

One odd thing I noticed while
cycling through the consoles was that console 6 had a login prompt on
it.  I didn't actually try logging in.

Any thoughts on this one? It was rather surprising to find a login prompt during the installing process.
