Description of problem: After the latest update to the pxeboot/initrd.img (2012-04-08), dracut dies while trying to fetching the installer from the repo and thus breaking PXE installation: dracut: anaconda fetching installer from http dracut Warning: can't find installer mainimage path in .treeinfo The installation worked just fine with the earlier initrd. The cause seems to be the splitsep function from /lib/dracut-lib.sh used by /lib/dracut/hooks/iniqueue/online/80anaconda-netroot.sh. A simple testscript using splitsep: $ ./test.sh anaconda-net:http://$internal_proxy/download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/development/17/x86_64/os/ prefix=anaconda-net repo=http $repo is thus way too short. The relevant PXE config looks like this: initrd=http://$internal_proxy/download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/development/17/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/initrd.img lang= vga=791 inst.ks.device=link inst.ks=http://$internal_server/kickstart/datacenter.ks panic=60 sshd noselinux nogpt biosdevname=0 dhcptimeout=5 inst.repo=http://$internal_proxy/download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/development/17/x86_64/os/ How reproducible: Try to install Fedora 17 via PXE with a inst.repo parameter.
