The prompt screen

Does it work if you use nfs: instead of nfsiso: for the same style of installation?

It passed when using 'repo=nfs:<server>:/<path>/tree' but failed for pointing it to iso images directory.

There is a clause in the F14Beta criteria around ensuring that NFS installs work, but it is not specific to ISO-based NFS installs.  Adding to F14Blocker per the following criteria [1]:

  "The installer must be able to use all supported local and remote package source options "

When you hit this error, it looks like the directory holding the images is mounted, but none of the images themselves are mounted.  Can you attach the output of the mount command to verify this?

Right, the images themselves were supposed to be mounted on /mnt/source like F13-ga does.

When I tested this case: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceHardDrive

the installer failed to retrieve the iso repo as well. Is it the same issue? The iso itself was not mounted as well.

Yes, I believe that issue has the same root cause.  We were stomping on a struct in loader and always setting something that should only be set on URL installs.

*** Bug 627631 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Reproduced in anaconda 14.17.1 of F14-beta-tc1

If I'm understanding correctly, this fix should be included in 14.17.1 (F-14-Beta-TC1)

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=commit;h=1cfae1b5470609af96b629fb62c64c597354843f

Setting back to ASSIGNED based on feedback from rhe.  Apologies if I incorrectly assessed the version or git log.

My problem (Bug 627631) seems to be fixed in the latest f14 vmlinuz and initrd.img files dated 15/09/2010. It didn't work when I tried earlier in the week with the files dated 12/09/2010.

Tested with anaconda 14.17.4 of F14-beta, the installer still couldn't get repo info. And this time an error screen popped up saying "(16, device or resource busy)" as attached.  

Unlike before, the path provided at boot command was not mounted twice(see comment#6) but the iso itself was not mounted as well. Anaconda.log and mount info are attached.

I've also verified that this issue wouldn't happen if the nfs file directory only contain one iso. So this problem is possibly the same as Bug#627789

Thanks for the investigation Hurry!  I agree that the new problem you are seeing is bug#627789.  If you've addressed that problem, and can no longer reproduce this issue, let's move this to VERIFIED.  We can track the remaining issue of multiple ISO images in bug#627789.

Okay, move it to VERIFIED. Thanks, James.

this should be closed, we're well past 14.17-1 now.
