AFAIK the / fs needs the kernel to support the fs type directly not as module and the default fedora kernels come with reiserfs as a module (loaded after the / fs is mounted). So the CD comes with a kernel image that does not support reiserFS and it can't mount the / fs so he can't install the rpms....
