I'm trying to install Fedora Core 5 on an opteron server using the method "Installation From a Hard Drive", using a USB drive. I have successfully installed diskboot.img on a USB drive and booted the server. I enter "linux askmethod" at the boot prompt. After the language and keyboard screens, I get to the screen "Installation Method", and choose "Hard drive". Then comes the screen "Select Partition---What partition and directory on that partitition hold the CD (iso9660) images for Fedora Core?". I have placed the images in a second USB drive, which is also plugged in. Unfortunately, the screen only lists the partitions of the internal hard disk. It does not show either of the two USB drives. The instructions on the screen say "If you don't see the disk drive you're using listed here, press F2 to configure additional devices". I press F2 and I'm taken to a screen entitled "Driver Disk Source". I guess the installation program is assuming that the drive containing the images was not configured due to lack of a driver, is that right? Curiously, the "Driver Disk Source" screen itself shows both the internal drive and the two USB drives. In the following screens I can browse the contents of the drives, and I can see the CD images. But the installation program is not interested in the CD images at this point, it's looking for the driver disk image. Since I don't have one, I'm stuck. In other words, the installation program recognizes the USB drives when looking for a driver disk image, but not when when looking for the CD images. Any suggestions?
