Hi Fedora user list,
I am trying to install Fedora 24 for aarch64 in a virtual environment on my amd64 notebook. Unfortunately the installer aborts as it cannot download a package.
I am starting the installer with this command:
sudo virt-install --name Fedora_24_AArch64 --ram 4096 --arch aarch64 --vcpus 2 --network bridge=virbr0 --disk path=./Fedora_24_AArch64.img,format=raw,size=8 --os-variant fedora22 --graphics none --location https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/24/Server/aarch64...
After configuring the installation the installer starts downloading packages, however at one point a download fails and the installation is aborted (see log output below).
I've tried two attempts so far and both got aborted. Further I did not notice any problems with the internet connection. And the failed package can be downloaded without any problems from my notebook.
Does anyone know a way to circumvent this problem (e.g. forcing the installer to retry a failed download)?
Thanks, Christoph
Here is the installation log:

The following error occurred while installing. This is a fatal error and instal lation will be aborted.
Failed to download the following packages: Cannot download Packages/r/rolekit-0. 5.1-1.fc24.noarch.rpm: All mirrors were tried Press Enter to exit.
Since I was not able to install Fedora 24 successfully the way mentioned, I used the ISO image for getting a successful installation:
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/24/Server/aarch64... sudo virt-install --name Fedora_24_AArch64 --ram 4096 --arch aarch64 --boot uefi --vcpus 2 --network bridge=virbr0 --disk path=./Fedora_24_AArch64.img,format=raw,size=8 --os-variant fedora22 --graphics none --cdrom Fedora-Server-dvd-aarch64-24-1.1.iso
That worked fine.
