Hello, In most cases this will happen when you mix initrd and vmlinuz versions, or you have broken one of these. Could you please try this with a different image / boot.iso ? Thank you!
I tried a brand new ISO: Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-26-1.5.iso And still seeing it.
This should work. Could you please give us logs from /tmp/*.log and content of the /proc/filesystems file? Also could you please try the "modprobe xfs" command and write here output of this command and its return code? Thank you for your cooperation.
I am going to close this as CLOSED as I can't reproduce this anymore. I think the issue was an operator error - mainly that I somehow managed to over-write the ISO with a symbolic link to an much much older version of the ISO (like pre-Alpha). And naturally this was happening _after_ I downloaded the ISO. <sigh>
