i'm still working my way thru the numerous emails discussing the booting problem with FC2t2, and i haven't seen any mention of debugging the boot problem and issuing updated CDs/DVD images.
i was just about to start a DVD ISO download, but i'm willing to wait if a new image might be available in the next few days that fixes this. any chance of that? or do we just go with what's there?

Probably not. A good workaround for this case seems to be to boot off the T1 CD to the initial boot prompt then switch CD

If one can install from the rescue CD, I could boot it when the boot CD didn't boot. I didn't do anything but boot, though, due to lack of time to follow through.

rather than a respin, then, will it be possible, if one downloads the current DVD ISO, to patch the image with a fix and reburn it? just curious.

Fair enough... but what about x86_64 -- does it have the CD boot problem, in which case what to do (there was no T1 CD for x86_64)? Will it work to boot from an i386 T1 CD and then switch to the x86_64 T2 CD?

Turns out it doesn't; at least here I was able to boot right off FC2t2 x86_64 CD #1 and it's installing away.
