I am trying to track this down. Running the low level /usr/libexec/anaconda/buildinstall script gives me errors saying that "strip" is missing (No errors seen running pungi ...) This could be causing the binary install to the initrd to fail prior to setting permissions. I am installing binutils and going to try again. I have been using a really basic Fedora install from the livecd with the pungi package and some others installed. If this works I suspect that pungi should have the package "binutils" added as a dependency and a bit more error checking/reporting should be in pungi ....
