Description Gary Thomas 2008-01-22 22:05:48 UTC

Description of problem:

Installer is supposed to be able to fetch kickstart files via NFS.
This does not seem to work.

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

11.4.0.23 (rawhide 2008-01-22)

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot installer with 'ks=nfs:192.168.1.101/tftpboot/ganymede.ks ksdevice=eth0'
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

ERROR: failed to mount nfs source

Expected results:

This is a valid NFS directory and have been used from this test
machine for manual NFS installs.

According to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Options, the correct format
of your ks parameter should be:

ks=nfs:192.168.1.101:/tftpboot/ganymede.ks

Note the second colon.  Does this work better?

Comment 2 Gary Thomas 2008-01-23 16:56:22 UTC

Indeed it does, thanks!

However, I now have the same problem as #429763

Okay, we'll track that problem there.
