When trying to do a Net install of Fedora 13 development off a USB key, I get the error: Missing ISO 9660 Image The installer has tried to mount image #1, but cannot find it on the hard drive. Please copy this image to the drive and click Retry. Click Exit to abort the installation. I am using the latest boot.iso (dated 7th May) from: development/13/i386/os/images/boot.iso I have tried using both the FC12's livecd-iso-to-disk and also the Windows Live USB Creator program, and both exhibit the same symptoms.
Sounds the same as: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-234137.html I'm using a Dell Inspiron Mini 9, with a 16GB SSD.
Please attach /tmp/anaconda.log, /tmp/syslog, and /tmp/storage.log to this bug report. Thanks.

You're testing a very recent version of anaconda, so there's no point in asking to try testing with something later. I don't think that'll make a difference. On the filter UI screen (a screen very early on that asked you which drives you'd like to be a part of this installation), can you verify that your USB key was automatically selected? If not, that's a bug but you could still manually select it. What happened on this screen? If nothing funny is going on there, there's limited reasons why you could be getting this error dialog. Basically, either losetup or mount failed. However I don't see anything useful in your logs that indicate why. If you wouldn't mind too much, could you run anaconda until you hit this dialog, switch over to tty2, press up arrow until you see a command like "kill -USR2..", and attach /tmp/anaconda-tb-* to this bug report? That'll let me peek at the variables when you get to this point. Thanks.
Created attachment 414217 [details] log created from kill -USR2 anaconda On that screen, my 'ATA STEC PATA 16GB' drive is listed first as sda and isn't selected by default. I select it. Second on the list (sdb) is the 'USB2.0 FlashDisk' which is selected, and even if I try, I can't unselect it. I've attached the requested log. So I didn't wipe my current install this time, I did a custom layout and chose not to format the existing partitions. Previously I chose to format the existing / & /boot. I have to do custom, as it's only a 16GB drive, and the default fedora options chew up too much space.
Just to note, I see the same problem with F13 final. netinst.iso, written to USB key using livecd-iso-to-disk. If I use dd, it fails to find install.img at a much earlier point. Seems like it's impossible, or very difficult, to use the small image to do a minimal net install from a USB stick :/ -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
What's happening here is that livecd-iso-to-disk is creating the boot config with repo= which makes anaconda think there is a repo on the media when there isn't. A work-around is to edit the command line and use stage2= instead I am also attaching a patch for livecd which will fix this by testing the iso being written for .discinfo (no .discinfo == netboot == stage2)

There is also a patch here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=604942 We need to merge these in some way to create a good patch which deals with this properly from both sets of patches.
I committed a modified version of this patch.
livecd-tools-034-1.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/livecd-tools-034-1.fc14
livecd-tools-034-2.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update livecd-tools'. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/livecd-tools-034-2.fc14
livecd-tools-034-7.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/livecd-tools-034-7.fc14
Should this also be pushed for Fedora 13, as when it's released, most Fedora 14 USB keys will be created with livecd-tools in Fedora 13? Will this somehow magically flow through to the Windows LiveUSB Creator, or is that a fully independent project? It also had the same problems.
I wasn't going to rush it into F13 as it really needs more testing as a lot of bug fix patches were collected and rushed in. After some testing, I'll look at getting it into F13. I don't know what is upstream for the windows version of LiveUSB creator.
