Re: Booting from isolinux's vmlinuz and initrd.img

Hi Pravit,
my guess is that you need to specify the URL to the installation source (or at least to the location with stage2) in the boot entry:
options inst.repo=URL
or
options inst.stage2=URL

Hey everyone,

I have a Fedora question but really an overall RH OS question:

I am running Fedora 32 on x86_64.

I used to be able to boot into the installer using the vmlinuz and initrd.img
from the isolinux directory.

IIRC I had to specify a boot entry like

title loader
linux /vmlinuz inst.vnc
initrd /initrd.img
grub_users $grub_users
grub_arg --unrestricted
grub_class kernel

but that no longer seems to work and I see a hang during systemd.  I do see that
the bootlog has

[   26.758433] dracut-cmdline[1226]: Warning: anaconda requiring network for vnc

so I know I'm on the right track.

Does anyone know the magic incantation to get this to work?  I have a remote
system I'm trying to install.

TIA for any help,

P.

P.S the hang occurs here:
