Anaconda unable to mount stage2.

[Jason Maestri]

Hello List,

I'm seeing an error when trying to install off of a hard drive.  I am
currently installing with my kickstart file inside of my initrd, and my
installation media is a hard drive connected to the system via USB.  My
kernel line (in grub) is as follows: "kernel vmlinuz
ks=file:/kickstarts/install.ks stage2=hd:/dev/sdd1:/images/stage2.img".  The
error I am seeing indicates that the system was unable to mount the stage2
image because the loop device (/dev/loop0) it was attempting to use does not
exist.  Here is the actual text of the error:

  16:04:21 INFO    : mounting device sdd1 for hard drive install
  16:05:51 INFO    : Path to stage 2 image is /mnt/isodir/images/stage2.img
  16:05:51 ERROR    : failed to mount loopack device /dev/loop0 on
/mnt/runtime as /tmp/install.img: /dev/loop0: No such file or directory
  16:05:54 INFO    : unmounting loopback /mnt/runtime /dev/loop0
  16:05:54 ERROR    : LOOP_CLR_FD failed for /mnt/runtime /dev/loop0: Bad
file descriptor

Does anyone know how to get around this? Am I doing this wrong?  I
appreciate your help.

Thank you,
  Jason Maestri
