Then your bug is likely a dupe of 627789.

Please, don't say you're installing from a DVD when you're not. :)
Installing from DVD is indeed a basic requirement that is tested many
times before a release is validated. Installing from the DVD image
written to a USB stick is not the same thing at all and is not such a
basic requirement. If you give the wrong impression about how you're
installing, it's likely to lead to confusion.

I would like to have a clear story from anaconda or whoever on what
exactly is supported in terms of writing the DVD image to USB, and what
isn't. I've never been particularly clear on that point. It would be
good to clear it up and add some specific install validation tests for
it - Hurry, do you agree?
