Hide Forgot
Created attachment 1122895 [details] This is the report that dracut generated when the error occurred. Description of problem: While using BFO to do an install of rawhide, the system gets to the point where it says basic system installed. It then goes into dracut timeouts, and drops to a dracut shell. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-044-17.git20160108.fc24 How reproducible: Happens about half the time when doing a BFO install. Seems to happen every time with slow download of OS, almost never when download is fast. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do a BFO install of rawhide x86_64 2. If downloads are slow, the usual case, pretty good chance this error will happen 3. Actual results: See this error Expected results: Proceed to download of stage2 and anaconda install Additional info: The information that comes up at the dracut shell prompt when help is typed is misleading. It would be better to do an ls of the /bin directory and tell the user that those are the commands available.
kernel command line: repo=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/x86_64/os/ initrd=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/initrd.img BOOT_IMAGE=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz What is BFO? reassigning to anaconda.
I think that in this case BFO means: https://boot.fedoraproject.org/
Looks like the rd.timeout in the boot.fedoraproject.org needs to be increased.
Well, there's currently no timeout set... what would you recommend we set it to?
I notice that when the downloads take about 5 minutes, this error doesn't occur. When they are slow, taking several hours, it usually occurs. The speed ratio between the two is about 50, so I suggest a 60 second timeout, which gives a little room for error.
Done. Please test and let me know if there's still any issue...
Thanks. I'll try it tonight.

The same error occurred, but when I looked in journalctl I saw that the download had failed. I watched if for a few minutes when I started it, and it was running at about 66KB/sec. But it stopped shortly after I left it unattended. It might have been because of maintenance.

Where I had an error I've been getting and reported it in another bugzilla. The download speed was about 138kB/sec, so took about 45 minutes total. That seems like an adequate test. So, this is probably fixed, but I'll continue to monitor it as I try to complete a rawhide installation using BFO.
