When installing F27 as a Xen DomU, if you use DHCP as the network install method, the downloads abort part way through. This seems to be in regards to a network configuration issue. Using the following line in the kickstart, and no network related entries in the kernel command line, the following occurs: network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --onboot=yes [ OK ] Reached target Encrypted Volumes. [ OK ] Reached target System Initialization. [ OK ] Listening on Open-iSCSI iscsiuio Socket. [ OK ] Reached target Sockets. [ OK ] Reached target Paths. [ OK ] Started Forward Password Requests to Plymouth Directory Watch. [ OK ] Reached target Basic System.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life. On 2018-Nov-30 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '27'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
