Are the disk images sha1sums match download.fedora.redhat.com ?
Works for me using the dvd iso image/dhcp/tftp/pxeboot/ftp install
Are the other disk images shared as well ?
At the point where the CD's are mounted:
mkdir disc1 disc2 disc3 etc
mount each discX.iso inside the discX folder.
Then when the package is not found on the given folder, the installer 
automatically tries disc2/Fedora/RPMS

See what file the installer is having trouble with by viewing the 
virtual terminal VT3 and VT4 ...
