Description of problem: I downloaded the F9-Preview DVD to my hard disk, copied vmlinuz and initrd.img to /boot, configured Grub and rebooted my system. Just after asking me about Grub setup (after root and /boot files systems were formatted), Anaconda complained that it cannot find image #1 on the hard drive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Whatever comes on the Fedora 9 Preview DVD. How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put Fedora-9-Preview-i386-DVD.iso in /home/fred/install/fedora9/ (/home is a separate file system from the root file system.) 2. mount -o ro,loop /home/fred/install/fedora9/Fedora-9-Preview-i386-DVD.iso /mnt 3. cd /mnt/isolinux 4. cp initrd.img vmlinuz /boot (/boot is also separate from the root file system.) 5. Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to make it possible to boot the vmlinuz just copied. 6. Reboot Actual results: The installation proceeds fine until after it formats the file /boot and root file systems and asks for the grub configuration. Then a window appears with the following message: Missing ISO 9660 Image The installer has tried to mount image #1, but cannot find it on the hard drive. Please copy this image to the drive and click Retry. Click Exit to abort the installation. Virtual console 2 (df -h) shows the following file systems mounted: /dev /mnt/isodir (that contains fred/install/fedora9/Fedora-9-Preview-i386-DVD.iso) /mnt/runtime /mnt/sysimage /mnt/sysimage/save (a logical volume that I don't want to format) /mnt/sysimage/boot ----------------- virtual console 3 ----------------- (the following copied by hand, please forgive typos): ... 10:26:30 INFO : moving (1) to step bootloadersetup 10:26:30 INFO : moving (1) to step bootloader 10:26:35 INFO : moving (1) to step reposetup ----------------- virtual console 4 ----------------- ... <4>Unable to load NLS charset utf8 <4>Unable to load NLS charset utf8 <7>ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A <7>SELinux: initialized (dev loop2, type iso9660), uses genfs_contexts <4>inode_doinit_with_dentry: context_to_sid(unconfined_u:object_r: user_home_t:0) returned 22 for dev=sda5 ino=3518391 ----------------- virtual console 5 ----------------- ...

Expected results: Successful installation (as I usually get). Additional info:
What values did you fill in to the UI when it prompted you for where to find the installation media? What directory and what partition?
/dev/sda5 and fred/install/fedora9 I assume that it finds the ISO file fine prior to the "Missing ISO 9660 Image" error message window, because it displays the usual GUI interface that I assume isn't in the kernel nor in the initrd.img.

Okay, one more thing. Can you run it all the way until it displays the error message, then jump over to tty2, grab /tmp/anaconda.log, and attach it to this report? Thanks.
Hmm, is there some magic way of bringing up the network so I can copy this file somewhere? Or some other way to get this log off my broken system?
Never mind. I've saved the log in my /save file system and I'm doing a network installation of F8. I should have anaconda.log for you shortly.

Created attachment 303458 [details] Anaconda log file, attempted NFS installation I attempted to install Fedora 9 Preview Release using PXE, NFS and kickstart. The installation failed with the same message window as the hard disk installation. I used a kickstart file from Fedora 8, but I don't think that should matter.
I think this is the same base cause as the related NFSISO bug (only seeing it on DVDs, not CDs) so I am going to go ahead and close this one as a dupe. We can always reopen it later if that turns out to not be the case. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 443291 ***
Found the same messages, failure to upgrade an F8 install [another who doesn't bother burning the dvd, but uses the hard disk method and one of the other booting methods {pxeboot, rescue=netboot=boot.iso}]. Chris: since there won't isn't expected be another public dvd iso before 9GA, this would need to be tested internally to ensure it is solved, cheers.
HDISO installs aren't working with current F9 candidates. As far as I can tell the symptoms match this bug, so I'm reopening it. Note that NFSISO installs (bug 443291) *do* work.
Created attachment 304541 [details] anaconda.log anaconda.log of failed install attempt. F9 image is in sdb1:/F9/i386/
My test both booted from and installing from Jesse's 20080503 DVD i686 ISO copied onto an ext3 formatted USB disk succeeded without an error.
Oh ho. I moved the iso to the root directory of the drive and left the 'directory' field blank, and now it works fine. I'm guessing it's some kind of subdirectory / path search problem. At least there's a workaround.
This should be fixed in the next build of anaconda both for head and for f9.
Confirmed fixed.
I'm experiencing the exact same problem and error messages trying to install F10 from harddisk. I have copied the contents of the ISO DVD image to a separate partition (sdb1) and want to install F10 onto the remainder of sdb (sda1 holds Win98 and I have no DVD drive). I changed "ALL" to "1" in .discinfo but to no avail. I have no clue as to what ISO file the installer wants to mount at reposetup, nor what SELinux has initialized on /dev/loop2 that fails to be mounted. I have tried the install via NFS and FTP. While that gets past the reposetup stage, network installation fails later during package installation due to time-out or system hang (it's an old Pentium3 system, 256MB RAM). THe hard disk install was my last hope - please help to fix this. Thanks.
Mraufer: The hard disk installation for F10 needs the .iso file, not the contents. According to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/sn-installing-from-harddrive.html, you only need to copy the contents of the images/ directory to your hard disk, to the same location where the .iso file is.
