Related to bug 678086 (F-15-Alpha.TC2 DVD image askmethod install from harddisk segfaults) I've been told on test-list to try a different boot arg ( repo=hd:/dev/sd6:/15/64 ) which worked with TC2 and also works with F-15-Alpha. However, on the virtual console I see a confusing error message like: INFO loader: transferring hd:/dev/sda6:/15/64/images/updates.img: Couldn't resolve hostname ... INFO loader: transferring hd:/dev/sda6:/15/64/images/product.img: Couldn't resolve hostname Initially that made me think it doesn't understand the repo=hd:/dev/sda6:/15/64 anymore. Due to the "hd:" prefix, it should not try to interpret any part of the following string as a hostname.
Can you get the logs from /tmp/*log from the install? If so, please attach them as individual text/plain files.
Created attachment 484132 [details] /tmp/anaconda.log up to graphical test release warning screen Contrary to F-15 Alpha, F-15 Alpha.TC2 had a log message 'INFO Anaconda: Found disc at Fedora-15-Alpha-x86_64-DVD.iso'. ifcfg.log : empty program.log : only a few udevadm trigger/settle msgs and metacity start X.log : should not be relevant
Created attachment 484133 [details] /tmp/storage.log - likely not relevant
It thinks you are doing a URL install: 10:01:50,185 DEBUG loader: in STEP_EXTRAS, method = METHOD_URL 10:01:50,185 DEBUG loader: looking for extras for HTTP/FTP install Is this reproducible with anaconda-15.21 or 15.22? Those are both post-alpha builds. You can use the boot.iso from: http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/boot.iso
> http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/boot.iso The bug can be reproduced with that one. Extracting the vmlinuz/initrd.img files and loading them with GRUB takes less time than downloading the boot.iso. > It thinks you are doing a URL install: Which explains what it's trying to download .img files from the net, but later on it installs from the specified ISO image nevertheless.
Ah, I believe this is fixed by the following commit already on master: commit be9ad01762ddb61d86d6ff3b98a2e98c7d392c12 Author: Radek Vykydal <rvykydal> Date: Wed Mar 2 13:50:13 2011 +0100 Fix setting of loaderData->method from repo= cmdline option. There was double "repo=" if branch. The second one (few lines below the removed) is the right one. The first branch did nothing more than set the repo, which means method was still METHOD_URL. And since the first branch was already hit, the second never will be. I've cherry-picked this commit over to f15-branch and it will be included in the next build.
