Harddisk installation fails

[A.J. Werkman]

Hi,

I read your comments on the failed harddisk installation.

In my case after the Device/Resource busy screen I was dropped in the 
repo screen aswell. But anaconda could not make a network connection, so 
the complete installation failed.

I noticed, that in the repo screen there is no "Harddisk" option. Should 
there be no "Harddisk" option?

As I saw your anaconda-ks.cfg file, you installed in a IPv4 environment. 
I installed in a IPv6 environment. I have seen in earlier situations, 
that anaconda fails when it can not detect an IPv4 although there is an 
IPv6 network. These observations lead me to the conclusion that anaconda 
indeed tries to find packages on a HTTP repo after the connection to the 
harddisk repo fails. In your situation it found one, in mine it did not.

If you do a harddisk installation without a network cable connected, 
does it succeed?

Koos.
