I just tested installation of the various Fedora Server Edition
installation media as of F37 rc 1.6.
Arm image, Server KVM image and Server standard install (DVD) installed kernel
6.0.6-300.fc37. Only net install installed kernel 5.19.16-301.fc37 (which was installed by
rc 1.4 or 1.5 if I remember correctly). A check of the installation file resulted „ok“.
Is there a particular reason? Or I am the only one?
This is normal and expected. The newer kernel from RC-1.6 has not been
pushed stable yet, so it is not in the repos used by the network
installer.
And netinstall doesn’t preselect the correct download source anymore, but asked to
"Confirm Selection“ and complained about "Error setting up base repository“
(local media is preselected which doesn’t include it, of course)
That's not intended, but also not what openQA sees:
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/1567623/video?filename=video.ogv
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/1567623#step/_boot_to_anaconda/13
as you can see there, after the test just booted the ISO and waited a
while, Installation Source was in the expected state. Was there a
transient network problem or something on your test, perhaps?
I guess this may also happen if the network does not work out of the
box on your system, but requires you to go through the network spoke
first to make it work. anaconda will try to set up the repo right away
when it starts up, so if the network isn't yet working at that point,
it will likely fail and end up in this state. That's not new, though.
