Is Anaconda currently checking the machine configuration against a

Instead of having a database of things like this, maybe it makes more
sense to fix them in the kernel? :-) And if there is a real hardware
need for things like this, it's very possible to use dmi for setting a
lot of it -- and that even helps the case for when you boot into the
installer! Or a live CD, etc etc etc
