Ya, from the full DVD. I also tried the netinstall one from Fedora Workstation (to switch server -> workstation, full DVD -> netinstall) and got the same results. Here's the PXE menu (with kernel options) I am using; ==== label linux menu label ^Install Fedora 28 64-bit menu default kernel fedora28/vmlinuz append initrd=fedora28/initrd.img inst.stage2=http://10.1.4.1/fedora28/x86_64/os/ ip=dhcp ksdevice=eth0 rd.shell rd.debug log_buf_len=1M ==== I verified that the vmlinux and initrd.img are the ones being downloaded by temporarily renaming them and the boot failed. So I am pretty sure the different initrd.img files are being tried. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.com/w/ "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
