Description of problem: If I use repo=nfsiso:10.2.1.1:/home/install/fedora/17/x86-64/iso on PXE then the installation stops with "mount: unknown filesystem type 'nfsiso'" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-17-Beta-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso How reproducible: Any time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot PXE 2. Give boot argument repo=nfsiso:10.2.1.1:/home/install/fedora/17/x86-64/iso Actual results: Above error message Expected results: Mounting ISO image and installing Additional info:
does it work with "nfs://" ?
yes.
Should be fixed in anaconda git, f17-branch: 8d5d4b9 dracut: fix anaconda-netroot for inst.repo=nfsiso:..

I'm +1 as well, 4 +1s (counting Kamil's proposal), accepted per criterion "The installer must be able to use the HTTP, FTP and NFS remote package source options" - nfsiso is one of the two NFS cases. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

We have a new enough dracut in Beta RC1, can someone re-test? thanks! -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Works for me in Beta RC1.
Excellent. The new dracut is stable, so let's close this. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
The bug appears (again) in Beta RC3. Same error as stated intially: "mount: unknown filesystem type 'nfsiso'" But there is no workaround by using repo type "nfs" instead of "nfsiso". It fails too.
I disagree. I've successfully tested both repo=nfsiso:192.168.1.x:/fedora and repo=nfs:192.168.1.x:/fedora installs. What parameter did you use exactly? What image are you testing with? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Did you use PXE during your test, or not? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Actually, we think this is almost certainly the same as http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810005 . There's a bug with parameter splitting when the repo= parameter is handled early because it's needed to find stage2. There is a workaround described in that bug - pass a root= parameter as well as a repo= parameter.
Discussed at 2012-04-04 go/no-go meeting. We agreed that we're pretty sure Till's case is #810005, and two other testers (myself and j_dulaney) confirm that nfsiso works fine with a DVD/netinst boot, so this bug should be closed again, and Till can follow up in #810005. thanks! -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
