[CentOS] Net installations failing

I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem.  I have it as
well, and I have been using both CD1 and the boot.iso from the 3.5
tree.  CD1 still insists that the installation tree is wrong, and the
boot.iso starts to work, but fails upon processing the kickstart files
that have worked fine in 3.4 (and yes, they reference the -3 tree, and
not the 3.4/3.5 specific trees).

I thought maybe it was my localized mirror, and pulled down new copies
of the ISOs from other mirrors, but the result is the same, and
whether I use my local mirror as the install tree, or point it at one
of the public mirrors.
