RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jack Reed 2011-10-27 01:38:52 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #695280 +++

Description of problem:
Direct anaconda to install packages from nfs repository of iso images(contain several boot.isos, live cds and dvds) by either repo=nfsiso: or askmethod. Before package selection step, installer claimed it cann't find the install image. The anaconda.log also shows that it didn't recognize the correct dvd.iso among the images.    

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 15.27
F15 beta rc2

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Prepare nfs repository with a set of isos
1. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceNfsIso

Actual results:
Unable to find and mount the correct iso

Additional info:
This method went smooth if there's only one expected iso in the nfs server.

Proposed as F15Blocker.

It has always been our recommendation that you only have the correct ISOs in the directory you point anaconda to.  I believe the test case and documentation should be updated to reflect that.

Discussed at 2011-04-15 blocker review meeting. As this does not mean the install method in question is actually non-functional, rejected as a blocker.
