Bug 239946

The alternate consoles show messages of the files being retrieved, but also say:
"Reverse lookup of <server address> failed"
"We don't have reverse lookups for IPv6 yet."

I also disabled IPv6 during the setting up of the interface choosing just IPv4.

I have done more testing, thanks for waiting.
The only way I've been able to get anything done with this boot.iso is to
actually rsync a May 12th updated tree to a local server and start an install
over HTTP.
This works, however.. more problems occur trying to use anything related to LVM
in the text mode installer.

I get either "Could not format partitions this is a fatal error press reboot to
restart the machine" errors, and after that I formatted the LogVol00 partition
myself and restarted the installation at which time I recieved a "Could not
mount VolGroup00/LogVol00 as /: no such file or directory please press enter to
reboot the machine" errors also. I am now attempting a VNC installation. I'll
see how that plays out.

Ok. I was able to perform an installation, I used the VNC method to obtain LVM
functionality that worked, and I added 256MB of RAM to the machine to also not
crawl through it. That is about all I could do on this machine to get an
installation performed.

If you need any information let me know.

Well, this is stupid.
When I had originally tried using the boot.iso I could have swore I put in
192.168.1.15/255.255.255.0 as prefix and IP address under manual configuration.
I recieved an error and the error message led me to beleive instead of the
prefix taking a 4 block octet it wanted just a single integer. So I typed in "1".
Apparently this made the netmask 128.0.0.1 and that is why these problems were
occuring.

I think now that I may have made a typo in the prefix feild, and not
understanding the error thinking that I typed in the prefix correctly, used a
number which made the netmask wrong.

Sorry about that!
I will try to be less hasty next time, that keyboard is an older type keyboard
with large keys that you literally have to bang on to get it to type without
catching and not being depressed. 
Anyhow, you can close this.. thanks!

What did you not understand about the error?  I might be able to reword it a bit.
