Title: Re: Error: "failed to mount loopack device /dev/loop0" while mounting stage2.
Jerry,
  I am using 11.4.1.63 out of fedora.  That explains a lot!  I’ll update directly.

Thanks for the help!

I have had luck installing the beta isos, using the updates.img from:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=491781
My boot string was:
ks=hd:LABEL=XSRepo:/jv.cfg stage2=hd:LABEL=XSRepo:/images/install.img
repo=hd:LABEL=XSRepo:
