Last modified: 2008-10-22 17:23:35 EDT
Description of problem: NFS based network installation does not work. Fedora 8 Test2 DVD is copied onto Fedora 8 Test2 server running nfs service. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Client gives error : "Could not mount Fedora from server". and installation has to be halted. Expected results: Network installation using NFS should work fine and take installation files from the server. Additional info: Network connectivity between server and client have been verified. Tats not the issue for sure. NFS service on server is running fine. This was verified by using mount command on perviously installed Fedora 8 Test2 client. It could successfuly mount NFS based partition onto the client.
Could it be the server's exports?
