Confirmed on RHEL 6.3 64-bit using the http protocol.  6.2 64-bit is working fine as well.

The new install.img is about 1 meg bigger than the 6.2 version so something changed.

Comment 3 Allen May 2012-08-13 21:19:52 UTC

Update:  I moved to a different network and it started working.  There is no firewall, but one network is slower due to the bottleneck.  Could there be a lower timeout in 6.3 for getting the /images/install.img?
