I put netinst and Fedora-9-Beta-i386-DVD.iso onto my USB stick and tried a HDISO install. Picked /dev/sdb1 as the local disk to find the ISO. Install proceeded seemingly fine until post configuration: 19:40:08 INFO : moving (1) to step writeksconfig 19:40:08 INFO : Writing autokickstart file 19:40:08 CRITICAL: anaconda 11.4.0.54 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 587, in writeMethodstr (method, partition, dir) = string.split(self._loaderMethodstr, ':') File "/usr/lib/anaconda/instdata.py", line 241, in writeKS self.anaconda.writeMethodstr(f) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 76, in writeKSConfiguration anaconda.id.writeKS(fn) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 208, in moveStep rc = stepFunc(self.anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 131, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1246, in nextClicked self.anaconda.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 80, in renderCallback self.intf.icw.nextClicked() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1267, in handleRenderCallback self.currentWindow.renderCallback() ValueError: too many values to unpack <clumens> 19:06:00 INFO : Method = hd:/dev:vfat:/ <clumens> the hell?

HD method strings are normally more like hd:/dev/sda2:/path/to/cdimages. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Options for details. So yeah. Something is weird there.
