Did an install of Wednesday's rawhide (20080423) and can report a qualified success. The only problem I had was getting the correct method selected. I added "stage2=nfs:wolves.private:/srv/Fedora/development/i386/os/images/stage2.img" and "method=nfs:wolves.private:/srv/Fedora/development/i386/os/" to the boot command line (using boot.iso) and it proceeded correctly to the point of fetching the repodata. There it complained about not finding the right name. At htat point I chose to "Edit" and had to switch to an http: install because an nfs: url wasn't accepted that late in the game. Thereafter the install proceeded smothly and I now have FC9(rawhide) running on the testbed machine. Can someone point out where/why my method specification (above) didn't/couldn't work? I've also tried "askmethod" in the stage2 spec line and didn't get a dialog, just an error that let me edit and switch to an http: method. I will note that the http: method is apparently more robust and faster that it was on previous releases. (I used to get timeouts and hangs with the http: method.) For my testbed 686 box, the release is shaping up nicely, and if the LiveCD is any indication, the x86_64 should be okay also. -- G.Wolfe Woodbury -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
