Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing dracut-013-4.fc16' as soon as you are able to, then reboot. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dracut-013-4.fc16 then log in and leave karma (feedback). Using dracut-013-4, I am able to create a working netinstall iso and get a working minimal install of Fedora 16. dracut-013-4.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Just installed FC17 Beta from disk a number of times. Grub2 fails to install properly (grub config and directory appears in boot partition, but loads with a single flashing cursor/underline and nothing happens). I install grub using a FC15 CD instead to boot. All installs result in dropping to dracut shell just after kernel loads, with warnings: dracut Warning: /sysroot has no proper rootfs layout, ignoring and removing offending mount hook dracut Warning: can't mount root filesystem kernel version 3.3.0-1 (no obvious method to print dracut version) all drives and partitions are visible, mounting manually is not an issue (In reply to comment #8) > Just installed FC17 Beta from disk a number of times. > Grub2 fails to install properly (grub config and directory appears in boot > partition, but loads with a single flashing cursor/underline and nothing > happens). > I install grub using a FC15 CD instead to boot. > All installs result in dropping to dracut shell just after kernel loads, with > warnings: > > dracut Warning: /sysroot has no proper rootfs layout, ignoring and removing > offending mount hook > dracut Warning: can't mount root filesystem > > kernel version 3.3.0-1 > (no obvious method to print dracut version) > > all drives and partitions are visible, mounting manually is not an issue I'm not sure that this is the same bug you're talking about. Keep in mind that F16+ use grub2 instead of grub (unless your system is using EFI). Using a F15 cd to repair F17 installation issues sounds like a bad idea - did you try rescue mode from the F17 install media? Can you file a new bug with boot logs from the affected system and the installer logs (they live in /tmp/ in the installer before you reboot, /var/log/anaconda/ post-install)? |
Created attachment 518197 [details] output from serial console on boot Description of problem: I created a netinstall iso, including the following packages: anaconda-16.14.4-4.fc16 -e lorax-16.4-3.fc16 libreport-2.0.5-5.fc16 dracut-013-1.fc16 linux-firmware-20110731-2.fc16 rpm-4.9.10-3.fc16 kernel-3.0.1-3.fc16 That installer iso always crashes on boot when I use dracut-013-1; when I use 011-41, the installer boots without issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-013-1.fc16 How reproducible: - Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the installer iso 2. Select any of the install options from grub Actual results: - End up in the dracut shell Expected results: - Start anaconda Additional info: - I can make the boot.iso I've been using for test available if that would help I attached the output from the serial console when using the following kernel command line: vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img rdshell rdinitdebug console=ttyS0,115200
