Seen on bare metal as well (i386 DVD). Also seen by another user on bare metal on i386 netinst: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-September/093850.html Confirmed with qemu-kvm and with bare metal (CDRW): $ sha256sum Fedora-14-Beta-x86_64-netinst.iso 9a3f3dffb09d9972c3db203d80f2cd415c53a8653a5121ea54f4ec4210926cea Fedora-14-Beta-x86_64-netinst.iso confirmed here too on KVM. This is obviously a Beta blocker. Could this be something to do with the new artwork? Did we ever actually test a non-live image with the changed artwork package? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers This was okay in RC1, I think, so that means it's something in the RC1 to RC2 delta that broke it.

Look for syslinux-vesa-splash.jpg in the correct location
There is a reason I asked the anaconda folks in advance about where the logos should end up. This patch adjusts the mk-images.x86 code to look in the correct location for syslinux-vesa-splash.jpg.
Current code doesn't find this file, so the syslinux.cfg does not get written out correctly (and syslinux.cfg gets copied to isolinux.cfg).
With this fix, the menu will start working again.
I sent a patch to you (spot) 4~ months ago for fedora-logos that updates the Makefile to put the images where anaconda expects them. I think the proper fix here is to update fedora-logos to install things in the right place instead of modifying anaconda (again). I'll attach the patch here too. Created attachment 448321 [details]
Install image files in the right location
Install images in the right location.
*sigh* Okay, I'm only going to say this once, because you're wrong, Jesse. I applied Jesse's patch back when he originally sent it to me. His patch claims that /usr/share/anaconda/ is the appropriate place for all of the anaconda related pixmaps in fedora-logos. Then, last week, I decided it would be good to doublecheck the path locations while I was adding the new Fedora 14 art to fedora-logos, just to make sure that /usr/share/anaconda/ was the correct place. It didn't look correct to me, so I went to #anaconda and asked dlehman and bcl to confirm the pathing. Sep 13 15:00:54 <bcl> It used to be in /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/boot/ and should now be in /usr/share/anaconda/boot according to my reading of things :) Sep 13 15:21:01 <dlehman> looks like /usr/share/anaconda/boot They both confirmed that /usr/share/anaconda was NOT correct. I had them double-check it, and asked them to update this wiki page with the correct set of paths: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F14_Artwork/Fedora-Logos-Packaging If you check the history, you'll see that Dlehman made the changes there on September 13, 2010. And in fact, the rest of the anaconda code does assume /usr/share/anaconda/boot for the splash files and /usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps for everything else. So please, don't throw old patches at me. I went above and beyond this time to get it right (since I have screwed it up before), and /usr/share/anaconda/boot is where the anaconda team wanted these images to live. livecd-utils has already been patched to reflect that pathing, and its a two line fix in anaconda. Deeply sorry, this is my mistake. It just looked like the patch you provided to anaconda reverted to different paths than what I sent you earlier. I'll blame a long day of riding in a van across the European country side and lack of judgement looking at bugzilla before I had a fresh night's sleep. Again I apologize. anaconda-14.17.4-1.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-14.17.4-1.fc14 anaconda-14.17.4-1.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository.
