Hi All !

Before reporting a bug I was wondering if anybody has had problems installing Fedora 9 preview from an iso image on a local drive (medialess install (http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f8/en_US/ap-medialess-install.html)).

In my case the begining of the install works fine. I specify the iso directory and it gets correctly detected. Anaconda starts fine. But juste before selecting the packages to install I get the following error:
Can not mount #1 image

I didn't get this error with the beta. Anybody in the same case ?

If you switch to the virtual console you may see more error messages, try VT4 and VT5. I remember there was an alpha (I think) but on that issue where the cd image was being unmounted and not remounted.

When switching to the virtual console I do not get errors. However I can see the command which supposely fails:
mount /dev/loop2 /mnt/cdimage

I did a
losetup /dev/loop2 path_to_iso

but it didn't fix the problem. I guess I will have to fill a bug report ;)
