Just a note that since I have a workaround, I don't really have time to continue debugging this on my end. I filed the bug report because if I'm hitting it, someone else probably is too. If no one can reproduce the issue, I'm happy to help figure out how to make it reproducible. Otherwise, having provided a simple way to reproduce the bug, I consider this bug report complete from my end. A note to anyone suffering from this issue and finding this bug still unsolved: If you used to PXE boot just the files in the images/pxeboot directory on fedora 17,16,15,14,13, etc.. and provided a kickstart file that contains either "url" or "nfs" to point the initial system at a tree to find the next stage of the installer, and now find it broken, it's quite possibly this bug. The good news is that those kickstart files should otherwise still work if you remove that url or nfs line from the kickstart file and boot the installer from the CD image. The bad news is that so far that's the only workaround I've found. Good luck!
What happens if you remove your first repo line, which is also pointing at a source of the distributon instead? It's a little weird to have both that and the repo line at the same time.
