After messing with this stuff until 05:00 this morning, I noticed some things that I hope will have been fixed before the real 8.1 ships. On a box with only SCSI disks, if one goes into 'rescue' mode with either 7.2 or 8.0, it'll for some reason realise there's a reiserfs filesystem on the disks, but it won't load the appropriate kernel modules so one can actually hit that drive. It doesn't probe the SCSI bus(ses) and load the module for the adapter it finds and depending on what devices are attached, it fails to load their drivers. I had to bust out my RH 6.2 disk and it did it all perfectly (except didn't have reiserfs support so I was screwed there). Anyway, that's my little sleep deprivation rant. Anyone on the list know if these issues are resolved in the 8.1 beta series?
