Well, the hd: argument is supposed to mean that you are pointing at a hard drive, which means anaconda will then be making certain assumptions including the one leading to the traceback above.  I can certainly fix that up, but I doubt it's going to help you get much farther in installation.

The real problem is what prevented your DVD from booting in the first place.  Can you attach any more data about the first problem?  Can you reproduce it reliably?

The information I supplied is the only one that I have when I attempt to boot with the DVD without to modify the cmdline. It is the same when I execute dracut manually.
But I can do all the tests needed to find the solution to this issue. I'm currently on a Fedora 16... And without solution, I can't upgrade except by upgrading to Fedora 17 and then Fedora 18... Not a sexy solution.
Tell me what to do...

I add that I can boot with this DVD on another PC without any problem, but never with mine.

Thanks for your support and your help
