This should be fixed in anaconda-11.4.0.54.
(In reply to comment #3) > This should be fixed in anaconda-11.4.0.54. So the actual boot.iso is created with an older version of anaconda? If so, when will an updated version be available? After the next rawhide push?
Rawhide is created using the anaconda-runtime package that's in the tree that day. So today's tree, which has anaconda-runtime-11.4.0.54, *should* have a boot.iso that works. Now, whether your local mirror has *today's* tree.. is a different question. The simplest way to check is to do: yum install snake snake-tree info [mirrorurl, like http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/development/i386/os/] and check the Name and Time lines - they'll be something like: Fedora development i386 (20080318), 2008-03-18 04:03 EDT

And the url I've used was: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os > Now, whether your local mirror has *today's* tree.. is a different question.

Thanks. My local copy was still from yesterday. However, it also don't work with download.fedora.redhat.com. I'll wait for the next push and try it again then.
Err. I mixed up my boot.iso's. It's now also working here.
It seems to have been rebroken as I haven't been able to do URL install's with boot.iso images from either the 19th or 20th. Anaconda tries to get .discinfo and then after getting a 404 stops making requests and goes back to the URL entry page. Here is the http log entry: 192.168.0.2 - - [20/Mar/2008:09:06:30 -0500] "GET /fd64/.discinfo HTTP/1.0" 404 288 "-" "anaconda/11.4.0.55" As far as I can tell .discinfo isn't in the rawhide repository. In the past URL installs worked without it.
That check's not really important anymore because we allow you to modify your repo choice later if you didn't use the correct URL in loader. So it's been removed.
OK I see this change has been committed to the git repository. I'll just fudge .discinfo to do my install today. If this one works as expected I am going to start really using the machine and won't be able to retest in the near future. Thanks for the followup.
