There are new images in the bootkit locker for the version 4 rhlinux
installer.  It's based on the latest stable release from Red Hat, and
contains support for the e1000 interface in this year's cluster hardware.

The installer is fully functional, but public announcement will wait
until the next athena cell patch release, which is also when we can
switch to doing native 9.2 installs.  (The idea being to not confuse
people with multiple related changes in quick succession.)

If 9.2.14 ends up not being bound for the athena cell, there may be a
minimal athena cell patch release with the fstab fix so we can turn on
native 9.2 installs; 9.1 will not work on the new cluster hardware.  (If
this is relevant, we can talk about it at the meeting next week.)
