issues found in F-16 Beta 20110919

using anaconda-16.16-1.fc17.dh.1 (contains fix for Bug 733680) + actual rawhide tree (pre-beta)

Installation status: FAIL (Bug 739620)

• vnc is started, but "ksdevice=eth0" parameter is needed
• storage selection page presents also the z/VM minidisks?? (they weren't shown in 15.x anaconda)
• Bug 739620 - ValueError: No description available for dasd

general anaconda/lorax/pungi/... issues

• the addrsize utility isn't built in anaconda any more and thus lorax fails after writing kernel.img and initrd.img => moved to lorax - patch
• anaconda dropped the mk-s390-cdboot tool in version 16 => remove relevant code also from lorax - patch
• pungi shouldn't include s390 compat packages in the installer image/repo - patch
