Can you give more details to reproduce this? What image did you use?

Comment 2 Dusty Mabe 2017-06-07 16:20:34 UTC
I used an ISO and did a normal interactive install:
Fedora-Atomic-ostree-x86_64-26-20170531.n.0.iso

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/branched/Fedora-26-20170531.n.0/compose/Atomic/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Atomic-ostree-x86_64-26-20170531.n.0.iso

Comment 3 Jonathan Lebon 2017-06-07 16:27:14 UTC
But Developer Mode is only currently being installed in the cloud image, right? https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts/blob/master/f/fedora-atomic.ks#_131

On the latest F26 AH qcow2 I could find (Fedora-Atomic-26-20170606.n.0.x86_64.qcow2), I am indeed able to enter Developer Mode. You can of course do the `bootentry add` in your own kickstart, though the goal of devmode is to provide an easy way to test out FAH with minimal setup, so it wouldn't make sense to put it e.g. in the interactive defaults ks.

Comment 4 Jonathan Lebon 2017-06-07 16:36:51 UTC
Just to clarify, the idea of Developer Mode is to bypass the need for cloud-init metadata when booting the cloud image. Obviously, if you're using the installer, cloud-init is not an issue for you in the first place. If you're creating *your own* cloud images, then you'll need to have that same `bootentry add` bit we use in Fedora AH kickstart if you'd like a Developer Mode entry.
