Boot from PXE with "root=/" specified
The root= argument needs to point to the location of the install.img file in the tree. Looking at the latest nightly tree I see: http://download.devel.redhat.com/nightly/RHEL-7.0-20120229.n.0/compose/Server/x86_64/os/ The install.img file is in images/install.img, so root= should look like: root=live:http://download.devel.redhat.com/nightly/RHEL-7.0-20120229.n.0/compose/Server/x86_64/os/images/install.img NOTE: This is still alpha-quality software. Much work is underway in Fedora upstream getting this move to dracut for anaconda's loader working properly. For now, this is what you need to pass as the root= argument.

Hi David, I didn't find the os/install.img in tree, is it missed when building the tree? Could you help to check this? > Hi David,

typo: should be images/install.img. I can find it in boot.iso, but not available in the tree.
My mistake, the location of the install image file on s390x is os/images/install.img. On x86_64, the location is os/LiveOS/squashfs.img. So you want something like this: root=live:http://download.devel.redhat.com/nightly/RHEL-7.0-20120229.n.0/compose/Server/x86_64/os/LiveOS/squashfs.img *** Bug 1100464 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
