Description of problem: I was responding to the call to QA the F7-Test1 testing tree; i used pungi to create a DVD iso and store it on an external usb drive. After booting, I selected Hard-drive method for install and chose the drive/partition that contains the ISO, and anaconda complained it cannot find the image. If I press 'F2' and try to select the drive/partition from there, anaconda complained it cannot mount the disk. If I try to select any other partition after the first try (either internal of external drives), I get the dreaded 'blue screen of death'. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):anaconda-11.2.0.17-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
What are the last lines from tty3?
(In reply to comment #1) > What are the last lines from tty3? <5> sd 5:0:0O: Attached scsi disk sdc <3> FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors <6> VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sdc1 NOTE: I recreated the DVD iso (using pungi) and boot with pxeboot images from 20070127 rawhide tree (anaconda-11.2.0.18-2)
Sorry, the first line is <5> sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdc
Note the lines <3> and <6> above. They are (I think) telling that a FAT partition is wanted. I was able to install F7T1 today by putting the .iso on a vfat partition.
The ext3 filesystem module is not being loaded early enough, so the loader is unable to mount any ext3 partitions. This should be fixed for test 2.
