Ah, hindsight is great, isn't it? :(

The Red Hat 2.4.3 + XFS kernel is running at install time, so I guess
that's where this problem comes from. Hm, might be time to come up with
a script to fix this up, and a "warning" email to users... Darn.
I could do a 1.0.1a kernel with this bug fixed, and respin the
installer, too, I suppose.
