Description of problem: When installing Fedora 28 netinst via HTTP boot, the installer boots into the kernel, but does not detect the .iso image block device (/dev/pmem0) that the non-volatile memory subsystem creates for the firmware provided ramdisk holding the .iso image (which is exposed to the OS via the NFIT ACPI table) Booting the exact same image via USB works fine, and in this case, the .iso image is exposed as /dev/sda Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-Server-netinst-aarch64-28-20180415.n.0.iso How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a HTTP boot capable system to boot the above image 2. Wait for the kernel to boot 3. Observe that the boot stalls at '[ OK ] Reached target Basic System' Actual results: The boot stalls. Expected results: The boot proceeds in the same way as it does when booting the same image from USB Additional info: /proc/partitions and blkid both list /dev/pmem0 with the expected FS type, label name etc.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28.

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.
