FC5T2 ISO on HD install (fail)

[dishkuvek]

I am trying to install FC5T2 from the HD, which contains all the i386 test2 iso, they all pass checksum tests. So I am booting off a small CD burned with the 6Mb boot.iso. When I select HD install I select the correct partition and direcotry, but it fails everytime, telling me that there are not FC install images there. So I flipped over a few terminals and found these:

failed to mount loop: Invalid argument
failed to mount /tml/hdimage//Fedora/FC5-test2-i386-disc1.iso
mntloop loop7 on /tmp/loopimage as /tmp/hdimage//Fedora/FC5-test2-i386-disc1.iso fd is 11

-- there is an entry like this for every iso (1-5)

another terminal over I find this:

Unable to load NLS charset utf8
ISOFS: changing to secondary root
Interleavedd files not (yet) supported
VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev loop7
SQUASHFS error: Can't find a SQUASHFS superblock on loop7
cramfd: wrong magic
FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors
File unit size != 0 for ISO file (3904)


Has anyone else got this? Any ideas?

Have a look through http://bugzilla.redhat.com and file an anaconda bug if you don't find it.

My iso files is located on /dev/hda11, a fat32 partion. with GRUB installed on MBR. extract vmlinuz and initrd.img files from the 1st iso file to the root dirctory, then command like this could help:

grub> kernel (hd0,10)/vmlinuz
grub> initrd (hd0,10)/initrd.img
grub> boot

This will bring you to installation.
