Where's what dracut wants instead of all it claims is obsolete when I try to
use what's there for F17 installation via an installed Grub Legacy stanza?
e.g.: Use 'ip=<ip>::<gw>:<nm>[:<dev>]'
Is there an extra ":" in there (a typo?)?
e.g.: "FATAL: Please supply bootdev argument for multiple ip= lines"
What on earth does "bootdev argument" mean? What multiple ip= lines?
Why was dns changed to nameserver? That's 7 extra characters, 233% more, in a
context with a short character limit.
I finally found http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dracut/Options, but if it
addresses the needs of an HTTP install initiated by Grub, it's too obtuse for
me to recognize.
This is the latest result of trying:
FATAL: Don't know how to handle
'root=http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/fedora/development/17/i386.os'
...
kernel panic
This is the current basis of edit attempts of the Grub cmdline trying to get
an installation started:
title Install Fedora 17 - m.u.k.o HTTP (2012/05)
kernel (hd0,6)/f17inst/vmlinuz
repo=http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/fedora/development/17/i386/os
ip=192.168.1.2::192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0 nameserver=192.168.1.1 rd.luks=0
rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 splash=verbose noipv6 enforcing=0 selinux=0 xdriver=radeon
root=/dev/ram resolution=1152x864 vga=794 nodmraid nofirewire
initrd (hd0,6)/f17inst/initrd.img
root= seems to be the missing component, but the doc doesn't seem to tell how
to figure out what it needs to be to get an installation started with Grub. :-(
