* rawhide-20040121 i386 * kernel-2.6.1-1.52 * anaconda-9.3-0.20040120181205 * nfs install I've checked the stage2 images. They are present, mountable, and seem to be intact. On VC3 I see: * mounted SERVER:/PATH/TO/TREE on /mnt/source * can access /mnt/source/Fedora/base/stage2.img * mntloop loop0 on /mnt/runtime as /mnt/source/Fedore/base/stage2.img fd is 25 * failed to mount loop: Invalid argument * after mountStage2, rc is 1
I get a similar error with ftp installs * transferring ftp://SERVER/PATHTOTREE/Fedora/base/stage2.img to a fd * copied 68124672 bytes to /tmp/ramfs/stage2.img (complete) * mntloop loop0 on /mnt/runtime as /tmp/ramfs/stage2.img fd is 19 * failed to mount loop: Invalid argument * Error mounting /dev/loop0 on /mnt/runtime (Invalid argument)
...and http fwiw

Worked around in anaconda by closing the loopfd before doing the mount (and verified that works).
Jeremy's anaconda workaround gets installs going, but since the core problem remains, I'm leaving this bug open.
