Description of problem:
anaconda failed to install repository NFS default

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 17.7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot the installer using any available means (netinst.iso, pxeboot images or DVD.iso)
2.Direct anaconda to use NFS as the installation type by adding the boot command: askmethod
3.Choose NFS directory as Installation method when prompted.
4.Provide the hostname and path to the installation tree
5.Proceed with installation 
  
Actual results:
Anaconda did not find the repository.

Comment 1 Tao Wu 2012-02-13 10:23:04 UTC
I found the anaconda can not mount NFS directory correctly, then I try to manually mount, but it failed finally. The screen shot is in the attachment.

Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2012-02-13 15:13:52 UTC
anaconda passes nolock to mount, so this is not the problem.  Please attach /tmp/anaconda.log, /tmp/program.log, and /tmp/syslog after the failure to this bug.  Thanks.

The log files has been attached, thanks.

Comment 7 Tao Wu 2012-02-16 07:39:04 UTC
This has still taken place on anaconda 17.8 .

Comment 8 Chris Lumens 2012-02-16 14:52:55 UTC
This is a kernel panic, which you can see from the attached syslog.

Comment 9 Jeff Layton 2012-02-16 18:54:10 UTC
That's not the problem. The stack trace is from a interaction with the
debugobjects code and slab ctor functions. This is a known problem. Here's the
upstream discussion thread:

     http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg26896.html

The warning is harmless, but I've proposed a patch to paper over the
problem. Still waiting on Trond to merge it at this point.

The real problem seems to be this message in the program.log:

07:31:20,403 ERR program: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting nfs.englab.nay.redhat.com:/pub/fedora/linux/development/17/i386

...but you'll need to do some troubleshooting to determine why the server
is refusing to allow you to mount.

I have tried to mounting the server in the host system, and it successfully mounted, but in the kvm(which is running on the host system) it can not be mounted.

Please try to set the network to bridge for the guest.

Comment 12 Jeff Layton 2012-02-28 14:03:07 UTC
At this point, I don't see any evidence of a NFS bug here. I'm going to go ahead
and close this as NOTABUG. Please reopen it with an explanation if you feel
that's incorrect.
