Description of problem:

The installer appears to have trouble locating repodata when booting from (and using stage#2 from) a boot.iso

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

 * anaconda-12.13

How reproducible:

 * Everytime now on physical hardware and bare metal

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download and burn rawhide boot.iso - http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os/images/boot.iso
2. Boot system using boot.iso
3. Proceed through stage#2 accepting defaults
4. When prompted to activate networking to access repositories, click OK
  
Actual results:

 * Network is activated, however repodata failure dialog appears (see attached screenshot)

Expected results:

 * Anaconda should load repodata from the network yum repositories without error

Additional info:

 * Add additional logs in attached tarball

Comment 2 James Laska 2009-08-12 20:20:55 UTC 
Retested this procedure on F-12-Alpha Test Compose (anaconda-12.7) and the problem does not present there.  

Adding this bug to F12Alpha blocker list for review.  The boot.iso test case is currently a tier#2 test and not required for the Alpha.  However, the tier#2 designation was assigned when install.img was not included on the boot.iso.  We can look to augment this for future testing.  

Taking this into account, I think it might be worthwhile to address this issue for the Alpha.  Installing a system using a boot.iso is common.  Possible workarounds include:

 * Boot and install from CD
 * Boot and install from DVD
 * Boot from PXE, install from network

Comment 4 Jesse Keating 2009-08-12 23:29:02 UTC 
This is because we don't have /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt in the anaconda environment, and thus can't handle the https metalink URL.  Sending a patch to add this in.

...and rebuilt.  This should be fixed in today's tree.

awaiting new anaconda-12.15 in rawhide to validate fix.
Comment 8 Jesse Keating 2009-08-14 16:49:55 UTC 
I have confirmed that this does work with 12.15.  12.15 will be in the release candidate I am composing today.
Comment 9 Jesse Keating 2009-08-14 16:50:29 UTC 
Tagged for the alpha.
Comment 10 Clyde E. Kunkel 2009-08-14 18:46:28 UTC 
Is this bz why in 12.14, Checking Dependencies ran for over an hour before starting install?
Comment 11 Bob Shanteau 2009-08-16 05:06:20 UTC 
Confirmed that today's boot.iso installs without problems. Checking dependencies takes only a minute or two, but installation of full package takes about an hour.
