Description of problem: When booting from FC2 installation CD with askmethod specified, I can not install using loopback mounted images on my Apache server, but I can install only from exploded directory tree copied from all Fedora CDs. According to console messages anaconda ignores existance of disc[1-4] directories on http server. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-10.0-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. loopback mount all FC2 installation ISOs according to anaconda docs 2. setup access to this directory tree for apache http server 3. boot from 1st FC2 CD on the computer targeted for installation 4. specify linux askmethod at the boot prompt 5. select HTTP when asked 6. specify your http server ip and directory 7. go on with installation Actual results: After telling that installation CD was detected, anaconda will loop unsuccessfully trying to download files from (non-existing) Fedora directory with dialogue telling that it can not read headers from the server Expected results: It should detect that there are loopback mounted images and use it instead Additional info: Network installation using boot.iso goes fine
We're not checking for things appropriately in the loader before passing the URL on to the second stage when in this "shortcut" type of install.
This is fixed in FC3
