Beta is older.. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this, but it still fails, with the error: ----------------------------------------------------------- Unable to download the kickstart file. Please modify the kickstart parameter below or press Cancel to proceed as an interactive installation. d:UUID=4d2cc...726d:/upgrade/ks.cfg ----------------------------------------------------------- This is the correct UUID for /dev/sdb2 , the /boot partition. I'm not sure what kickstart parameters there are? The only unusual thing about this computer, I think, is that it has 2 SCSI disks . Incidentally, I thought the UUID referred to a disk rather than a partition. But I see that /dev/sdb3 has a different UUID. As always, any suggestions or advice gratefully received. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
