I'm struggling with a strange issue. I'm trying to create a self-installer environment based on F10, grub, local ISO and kickstart:
- created a /dev/sda5 filesystem and copied the DVD ISO onto this - extracted the images/install.img file onto /dev/sda5 - created a grub.conf:
title Install F10 kickstart root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz ks=hd:sda1/ks.cfg repo=hd:/dev/sda5:/iso initrd /initrd.img
- in the kickstart I defined the hd path:
harddrive --partition=/dev/sda5 --dir=/iso
When I started the installer, it stopped almost with the same issue at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473351: anaconda can't find install.img
Here's the anaconda's relevant log:
09:45:23 INFO : Searching for file on path /tmp/mnt/ks.cfg 09:45:23 INFO : file copied to /tmp/ks.cfg 09:45:23 INFO : setting up kickstart 09:45:23 INFO : kickstartFromHD 09:45:23 INFO : results of hd ks, partition is /dev/sda5, dir is /iso 09:45:23 INFO : doing kickstart... setting it up 09:45:23 DEBUG : configuring device eth0 09:45:33 INFO : get_connection (1995): NetworkManager connected 09:45:33 DEBUG : going to set language to hu_HU.UTF-8 09:45:33 INFO : setting language to hu_HU.UTF-8 09:45:33 INFO : starting STEP_STAGE2 09:45:33 INFO : partition is /dev/sda5, dir is /iso 09:45:33 INFO : mounting device sda5 for hard drive install 09:45:33 INFO : Path to stage2 image is /mnt/isodir/iso 09:45:33 ERROR : failed to mount loopback device /dev/loop0 on /mnt/runtime as /tmp/install.img: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?) In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
But when anaconda asks me and I give exactly the same repo path to it (sda5, /iso dir), the installation continues well:
09:45:48 INFO : partition /dev/sda5 selected 09:45:48 INFO : mounting device /dev/sda5 for hard drive install 09:45:48 INFO : Path to stage2 image is /mnt/isodir/iso/images/install.img 09:45:50 INFO : mounted loopback device /mnt/runtime on /dev/loop0 as /tmp/install.img 09:45:50 INFO : Looking for updates for HD in /mnt/isodir/iso/images/updates.img 09:45:50 INFO : Looking for product for HD in /mnt/isodir/iso/images/product.img 09:45:50 INFO : got stage2 at url hd:/dev/sda5://iso/images/install.img 09:45:50 INFO : reset repo= parameter to hd:/dev/sda5://iso 09:45:50 INFO : Loading SELinux policy 09:45:50 INFO : getting ready to spawn shell now 09:45:51 INFO : Running anaconda script /usr/bin/anaconda 09:45:54 INFO : using only installclass _Fedora
Am I wrong?
