Description of problem: There are two sections which are talking about Hard Drive installation: 1. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/ch-Installation_Phase_2-x86.html#s1-begininstall-hd-x86 In this link, "linux repo=" option is introduced like this: linux repo=hd:device Later it says that the path of ISO files should be specified, but it is not clear that 'how' you can specify the path of the ISO files. (the main pattern doesn't include path its just "hd:device"). AFAIK, the above option should be introduced as: linux repo=hd:device:path 2. http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/ap-admin-options.html The "inst.repo=" for HDD installation is specified as: inst.repo=hd:device/path I don't remember if I've tried "inst.repo=" option, but "repo=" option doesn't work as "repo=hd:device/path" but works with a colon between device and path; e.g. "repo=hd:device:path". This is what I've used to successfully boot Fedora 20's installer (I have specified .iso file but according to the documentation it should not be needed. Anyway, this worked for me): linux /boot/vmlinuz-20 repo=hd:/dev/sda8:/tmp/Fedora-20-x86_64-DVD.iso
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Seems to be fixed in F22 guide.
