Description of problem: This grub entry points to the files I extracted from the DVD iso image: title Install Fedora 11 Beta root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/fed11/vmlinuz repo=hd:/dev/sdb2:/downloads/otherinbox/Fedora-11-Beta-x86_64-DVD initrd /boot/fed11/initrd.img I had to unplug my USB drive to make this work since for some reason in the kernel for the installer, the usb drive came up as /dev/sdb and the hard disk which is normally /dev/sdb came up as /dev/sdc. With the usb drive unplugged things get farther (but that is really just a side issue however weird it might seem). The Fedora-11-Beta-x86_64-DVD directory referenced above looks like this: total 4258208 -rw-r--r-- 1 tom users 1658 Apr 3 17:04 Fedora-11-Beta-x86_64-CHECKSUM -rw-r--r-- 1 tom users 4356126720 Apr 3 20:37 Fedora-11-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 3 23:00 images ./images: total 103000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 105361408 Apr 3 23:00 install.img The images/install.img file is copied from the images directory on the iso. I boot this grub entry, the kernel boots, it asks about the keyboard, I get to the anaconda initial GUI and click on the Install Anyway button when it asks about installing beta software, then the next thing that comes up is an error dialog that says: "The installation source given by /dev/sdb2 could not be found." I try again with LABEL=ZOOTY instead of /dev/sdb2, but the same thing happens. It clearly claimed to be running anaconda and some GUI bits showed up, so I assume it found something to start running, but then I guess it lost track of it :-). If the HD install procedurs have radically changed once again, I couldn't find any pointers to the new procedures to use. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 11 beta DVD image. How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. see above 2. 3. Actual results: see above Expected results: actually getting the install going would be nice Additional info:
