Same thing happens with the full x86_64 install DVD.  Both images match
their respective checksums and both are mountable under F17.

Now, I've been a Unix admin since the SunOS 2.x days.  I was peripherally
involved in the porting of Minix to 32-bit mode before Linux ever existed. 
I've been running Linux since around the 0.9.5 kernel.  With all that
experience, I know it's possible that I'm doing something stupid.  I just
don't see it.

Does anybody have a clue as to what might be going on?
