Description of problem: Setup: dhcp/tftp-server delivering grub. Grub then pulls in: - kernel - initrd grub-config: menuentry "f27 Server (install)" { echo "Loading kernel ..." recordfail set gfxpayload= set root='(pxe)' linux /fedora/f27/vmlinuz vga=788 ip=dhcp inst.repo=https://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/27/Workstation/x86_64/os inst.proxy=http://proxy:8080 lang=de_DE keymap=de echo "Loading initrd ..." initrd /fedora/f27/initrd.img } System boots, pxe brings in kernel, initrd then transfers control to the loaded kernel. Kernel boots. As soon as it is time to access inst.repo, this is done, but ignoring inst.proxy. Since no direct internet access install fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda as found on f26, f27, rawhide netinstall iso. How reproducible: Always. I could reproduce it with - fedora 26 - fedora 27 - fedora rawhide Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup dhcp-server 2. Setup tftp-server 3. Configure it to deliver grub2 4. Configure grub2 to access tftp 5. Boot from network Actual results: anaconda ignores inst.proxy=<proxy-URL>, trying to directly connect to the internet based server. Expected results: anaconda honoring inst.proxy=<proxy-URL>, connecting to proxy to access the internet based server. Additional info: - Problem exists with: - CentOS, RHEL, OracleLinux, ScientificLinux 6.x - CentOS, RHEL, OracleLinux, ScientificLinux 7.x too. Docs at https://rhinstaller.github.io/anaconda/boot-options.html state to set a proxy for anaconda it would be enough to define it on the kernel-command-line as I did.
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.

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.
