- Put the iso on a ntfs partition
- Put the vmlinuz+initrd.img in F11's grub .. and boot into the installer,
pointing it to install from HDD
- The installer cannot pickup the iso
Yeah this probably won't work because of the NTFSness, but what's the
exact error message? What does the log on tty3 look like?
- As an alternate I copied the iso to a server, and NFS shared its
folder
- I reboot the installer, point it to nfs .. again it fails to start
anaconda
What's the exact error message? What's the log on tty3 look like?
- Third trial .. on that server I loop mount the iso on /opt and NFS
share
that
- Boot installer, it tried to mount server:/opt/images (which fails!) (only
/opt is shared)
What, like you're not exporting the subtree? You need to do that -
anaconda needs to access <tree>/images/install.img to be able to
proceed. Again, what's the log on tty3 look like?
- Fourth trial: I expand the iso image completely on disk into a new
directory, boot into the installer pointing it at that
- Installer finally picks up, anaconda starts .. I click next a few times,
partition and format my disk, then an error message mentions "cannot load
image #1, please insert the CD and try again" ... arrgh
Yet again, what do the log files look like? Show me /tmp/anaconda.log,
/tmp/storage.log, and /tmp/syslog.
