Description Ask Bjørn Hansen 2006-06-01 00:27:52 UTC

Description of problem:
If the kernel and the stage2 image doesn't match anaconda gives the unhelpful message "The Fedora 
Core installation tree in that directory does not seem to match your boot media".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
11.0.5-1

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to do a net install with the wrong stage2 image
  
Actual results:
Anaconda gives an unhelpful message.


Expected results:
Anaconda would give the version/whatever information from the boot media and the version/whatever 
information from the stage2 image so the user has a chance of figuring out what's wrong.

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2006-06-04 18:21:13 UTC

Unfortunately, the mismatch is purely based on timestamps squirrelled away in
various files.  There's not really any better information that can be given.

Comment 2 Ask Bjørn Hansen 2006-06-05 07:20:16 UTC

Would it be possible to squirrel away more useful "marks" in the various files to use for display?  :-)
