Hi there. My analysis: It looks like boot.iso doesn't have all the network modules that the parent kernel RPM has. In particular, it seems like it doesn't have any drivers for a Realtek 8139 network card. Besides being popular in real life, this is what KVM and virt-manager emulate. This means that you can't use boot.iso to do a network install of Rawhide on a virt-manager guest. Problem description: I'm attempting to install Rawhide in a fully-virtualised machine using kvm and virt-manager. The host OS is a fully-updated Fedora 10. The guest OS boots, offers to check the media, enters X, displays the F10 splash screen, and then comes up with this error message: Network Install Required Your installation source is set to a network location, but no network devices were found on your system. To avoid a network installation, boot with the full DVD, full CD set, or do not pass a repo= parameter that specifies a network device. The only option is "Exit Installer". If I Ctrl-Alt-F2 to the shell, I get lspci includes 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139 C+ (rev 20) lsmod | grep 8139 returns nothing If I cd to /lib/modules/2.6.29-0.35.rc1.git4.fc11.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net there are 35(gzipped) modules directly in that directory, by my counting, and no 8139 modules. If I download the kernel RPM separately, there are 70 ungzipped modules directly in the same directory. Both host and guest are (Intel) x86_64. Version-Release number of selected components (if applicable): boot.iso as of 14-Jan-2009 07:53 kernel-2.6.29-0.35.rc1.git4.fc11.x86_64.rpm
same here (since weeks) no LAN Network offered during install in an KVM/native installation. in native installation WLAN network is only offered as eth0, but without firmware for Prism54/p45. Feeding this firmware via usb stick was without success so far. Today I see the above described message.
Yes, a lot of network drivers are missing right now. Jeremy just committed a fix for this earlier today, so they should show up in Rawhide once we do a new build of anaconda.
thx. I will stay tuned !
seems to be fixed, thx.
Thanks for verifying
