Description Jerry Williams 2008-08-10 02:03:00 UTC
Description of problem: When you use PXE boot and use method=nfs:server:/path it only appears to look for an images directory and not for a .iso file.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 10 Alpha


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. PXE boot
2. add method=nfs:server:/path to command line
3. English
4. us
5. Configure TCP/IP, OK
6. Error, That directory could not be mounted from the server.
7. Lists server name and /patch/images/stage2.img
  
Actual results:
Error, That directory could not be mounted from the server.
Lists server name and /patch/images/stage2.img

Expected results:
Should just mount /path/Fedora-10-Alpha-i386-DVD.iso and boot.
And if it can't find it is shouldn't list /path/images/stage2.img.
It should only list /path.

Additional info:

I ran tcpdump and it doesn't look like it even tries to find the .iso file.
I only see it look for the images directory.

You need to use method=nfsiso:server:/path now.  This is probably worth documenting in the release notes.
