Description of problem: A net install of current Fedora Core Develeopment [rawhide] fails. The DHCP request fails, and the installer does not proceed beyond the corresponding text window. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.1.0.4-1.i386.rpm How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from rawhide boot.iso. 2. Choose FTP install. 3. Choose DHCP method. Actual results: The installer gets stuck, because instead of proceeding to the next window, nothing happens. One can hit the "Ok" button repeatedly but nothing will happen. Expected results: Installer should proceed to downloading the installer image. Additional info: I chose to specify a static IP too, but this left me with an empty blue screen, possibly because the FTP connection did not build up successfully. It might also be a problem with the network driver [IBM ThinkPad T23 with Intel Pro 100]. Before reinstalling the system from scratch, current rawhide was installed, and network functionality including DHCP was given. I am sure FTP install w/DHCP worked maybe 3 weeks ago, when I installed my system also over the network.
According to the information posted at: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-April/msg01413.html probably a kernel issue.
Fixed in kernel-2.6.16-1.2181_FC6 as of 05/01/06.
