If we copy isolinux/syslinux + images directory to a USB disk, anaconda's stage1 starts up correctly, but refuses to recognise stage2 and the Packages directory on the same disk. Only by providing a full iso - and pointing stage1 to it - we can get stage2 booting. This makes USB-disk-started installs awkward. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.4.0.82-1.i386 anaconda-runtime-11.4.0.82-1.i386
It would be nice if the process of creating a install USB pendrive would be better supported. I currently try to install F9 on an Eee PC from a pendrive and it is rather complicated and also difficult to find information about it. Live install is better supported, but USB pendrive as a replacement for the DVD not so much.
What's the status of this with rawhide? The separation of repo=/method= and stage2= should make this a bit easier to accomplish now.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
