Okay, that's consistent with the device just never being found. Can you also attach /tmp/syslog and the output of lsmod? Thanks. Created attachment 480071 [details]

lsmod
Reproduced in anaconda 15.20.1. Looks like the usb-storage module is never getting loaded. You see no mention of it in lsmod, and there's very little mention of usb anything in your syslog. It's my understanding that usb-storage should just be getting loaded without any anaconda involvement. At least, we don't load it anywhere else and we've gotten bug reports from people farther along in the USB process, so it must be working for some.

kickstart from hard drive
the sad1 partition is mounted in the log, but the console also outputs error as the attachment. The kick start file cannot be found.

But I couldn't access to ttys until I clicked cancel on the window to get stage2 started. So I thought sda1 was mounted after I cancelled kickstart install. Hongqing, when that dialog appears, and no tty's are available, you can press <Ctrl>Z to drop into a shell. The shell environment will be limited, but you can do some debugging there. Discussed at 2011-03-11 blocker review meeting. On the face of it, this hits criterion "The installer must be able to use all kickstart delivery methods ", but it may be more a case of a problem with _device discovery_ than a generic issue with the hard disk ks delivery method. Hongqing, can you give us a few more details on the exact disk at issue here? Is it a USB flash stick or an actual hard disk connected externally? How is it formatted / partitioned? Can Hongqing (or anyone else) please test with a different USB device, maybe a FAT-formatted USB flash stick? Hi, Adam, I tested it again, but it is weird, I cannot reproduce it again as I did before. It also not always happened before. I keep the kick start file on a guest hard disk, and install another guest from cdrom. it works now. so I prefer to close it first as it is not a bug. |
