I'm experiencing similar errors also with fc8 i386 and 5.1 beta. The
install works but on reboot the error messages appear. In addition the
kernel seems to finding a non-existent sda device and getting confused
with the hda device which it should be using. This install was with
netboot and without UYOK .
