Description Luke Macken 2013-12-12 01:30:22 UTC 
Description of problem:

I wrote the boot and dvd RHEL 7 public beta images to separate USB keys and booted off the boot.iso. Anaconda automatically detected the DVD image and was able to verify it successfully.

I then get the following error: "Failed to setup installation source; check the repo url."

Clicking "Done" brings me back to the main menu, but the installation storage never successfully gets configured.


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. dd the boot and dvd images to different USB keys
2. boot off of the boot.iso key
3. anaconda should automatically detect the dvd image and automatically default to it
4. Ensure that anaconda can verify the image
5. Observe the "Failed to setup installation source; check the repo url" error at the bottom of the screen

Why didn't you just boot from the DVD USB?

> Why didn't you just boot from the DVD USB?

For some reason this old dell workstation that I am installing to only boots off of a small 1G USB key that I have, and not my 30G SD card + USB card reader (which is the only device I could find that could fit the DVD image at the moment).

If you switch to a shell and look at /run/install/repo does it have the iso mounted? According to storage.log it mounted /dev/sdc there, but according to packaging.log it didn't like the repo /run/install/repo

Yes, the iso gets mounted to /run/install/repo
