On the network there is no dhcp. So I would-be expect a network configuration screen.
Another user experienced a similar problem: During the startup of an installation of the F22 nightly 20141222, the DHCP timed out. At this point, synchronization with a repo's cache will not work. The installer crashed with "An unknown error occurred". addons: com_redhat_kdump cmdline: /usr/bin/python /sbin/anaconda cmdline_file: BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Fedora-rawhide-x86_64 quiet dnf.rpm.log: Dec 29 13:23:30 INFO --- logging initialized --- hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 3.18.1-2.fc22.x86_64 package: anaconda-22.13-1 product: Fedora" reason: MetadataError: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'rawhide' from 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=rawhide&arch=x86_64': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: Curl error: Couldn't resolve host name for https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=rawhide&arch=x86_64 [Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org] release: Cannot get release name. version: Fedora

*** Bug 1178932 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
RE: alpha blocking (from the dupe), yeah, that seems fair. Should it block alpha or beta? I do not know. It sounds like this will occur any time a netinst boot image is used, and anaconda starts without network up. The fix will probably be to do whatever yumpayload.py does to handle this kind of thing.
