Description of problem: Once mistakenly specifying non-existent directory with nfs mounting, even if correct directory is given, the install process can't go forward. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.4.0.75-1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.specify non-existent directory with nfs install and see "That directory could not be mounted from the server" error. 2.specify a directory that exactly has Fedora image. 3. Actual results: still fails Expected results: should go forward next step Additional info: From the log: Running... /bin/mount -n -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/sr0 /mnt/stage2 mount: /dev/sr0 already mounted or /mnt/stage2 busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sr0 is already mounted on /mnt/stage2 Running... /bin/mount -n -t nfs -o nolock nfserver:/mnt/path/to/Fedora/i386/os /mnt/source mount.nfs: /mnt/source is busy or already mounted
This should be fixed in the next build of anaconda, I think. Judging from your log file blurb I assume you are booting off the boot.iso. This is likely just a side effect of never unmounting the CD when given a bad NFS directory and not doing the proper cleanup when we go around for another try.
Oops, sorry. yes, you're right. I have tried with boot.iso. Thank you for fixing!
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
