Description of problem: I understood that stage2.img is now included in boot.iso so the text installer should not need to download it before moving to stage2. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.4.1.12-1 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot boot.iso 2. text installer asks Installation Method 3. anaconda tries to load stage2.img Actual results: 2. need to select URL or nfs and give source 3. anaconda is unable to load or mount image Expected results: 2. installer to proceed to stage2 3. (image to mount)
You'd think that. And yet.... I believe a fix is being worked on. In the meantime, passing stage2=http://<yourserverofchoice>/pub/fedora/linux/development/<platformofchoice>/os/images/stage2.img as an argument seems to be working.
Peter fixed this. We should have it in the next build of anaconda.
