I have been following the other posts about problems with NFS installs due to changes in anaconda. However I am having what appears to be a related problem with an HD install but initiated from grub rather than using physical media containing either the DVD image or netinst.iso burned to a CD. I copied the DVD iso to a partition which will not be formatted during the install. The system is an existing F9 with SELinux enabled. I then loop mounted the iso image and copied the vmlinuz and initrd.img files to /boot and then amended /boot/grub/grub.conf to contain a new section to boot the kernel from this vmlinuz file with initrd as above. The boot begins but if I select hard drive method it immediately tells me that there is not installation media on the specified partition. So I copied the images directory and its contents to the same directory as the iso file. The images directory now contains the install.img file. Trying to boot the installation again gives the same error when it gets to the HD directory definition for where the iso image is. So I tried to follow http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Options and amended the boot line to include repo=hd:/dev/sda6:path/to/iso stage2=hd:/dev/sda6:path/to/install.img and booted - it gives the same error again. I have also tried the "askmethod" added to the kernel line at boot and it makes no difference. Now some of my computers do not have a DVD drive so for those it is essential that I can boot the install using this method. Does anyone have a working alternative to booting from physical media to get f10 install started for an HD install? Does it make any difference if the netinst.iso file is used instead of the DVD iso file?? If so why does this make a difference? Installing F10 is going to be quite problematic for me unless I can find a workaround to the HD problem. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-f10-HD-install-initiated-from-grub-tp20726015p20726015.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
