What's on your NFS server?  It looks like ISO images, but I don't know which ones you've got there.  From the log file, it looks like anaconda tried to find an ISO image that worked, didn't find any, and fell back to HTTP which then failed with the error message you see.

Comment 3 Paul Wayper 2008-12-09 10:47:52 UTC
Yes, ISO images (in /opt/ftp/ISOs).

-rw-r--r-- 1 paulway users   4172283904 2008-11-26 12:27 Fedora-10-x86_64-DVD.iso

$ sha1sum /opt/ftp/ISOs/Fedora-10-*
086fd570518ac58d3966c43c1b6d146e38919d8d  /opt/ftp/ISOs/Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso
f1e5ae7db6a1ba227de7294c4112385922388648  /opt/ftp/ISOs/Fedora-10-x86_64-DVD.iso

Both of these check out compared to the supplied SHA1SUM files.

I used File Roller to extract the boot.iso file from the x86_64 ISO and burnt it to a CD-RW.  Then I installed from there.

The first time I tried setting it to load from NFS share, it said it couldn't mount the directory (I can't remember the error message and foolishly forgot to write it down).  However, when I went to the command line on console 2, mount showed it mounted under /mnt/source.

I notice that it tried to look at both the Fedora 8 and 9 images - see lines:

08:02:24 WARNING : /mnt/source/Fedora-9-x86_64-DVD.iso doesn't have a install.img, skipping
08:02:24 WARNING : /mnt/source/Fedora-8-x86_64-DVD.iso doesn't have a install.img, skipping

in the traceback.  One possibility might be that it's looking for 'Fedora-?-x86_64-DVD.iso' files, maybe?

What other information would you like me to get?

Comment 4 Paul Wayper 2008-12-09 10:48:51 UTC
Admittedly there are extra Fedora images from two previous versions - I keep them around in case I need to recover an older machine and there is some incompatibility between the old and the new.

Comment 5 Chris Lumens 2008-12-11 22:32:07 UTC
Yes, we do look through all the ISO images in a given directory to try to find the right one.  You should be fine for now because no release before F10 had an install.img (it was called stage2.img in the past).  However you may wish to put the ISO images from different releases into different directories in the future, just to avoid any confusion.

It might even be worth testing that now, though I would be surprised if that fixed this issue.  I will try to set up a test in the next workday or two and see if I can reproduce this.  If so I likely won't need any more information.

I got the error when doing a dvd upgrade from f9. No nfs involved here.
However, I managed to do the upgrade in text mode.
