[Ovirt-devel] known problem when installing a guest from a CD / DVD

[mark wagner]

Hi

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that there is a known issue with anaconda when installing a 
guest with a kickstart file from a cdrom or dvd.  This is covered on the production install page but 
not on the developer install page.  So if you are installing the developer version check out the 
"...or build it from the kickstart" section on the regular install page ( 
http://ovirt.org/production-install.html  ) or use the note below...

"However, the Fedora 8 DVD, as shipped, has a bug that prevents cdrom based installs from working 
properly. You can either choose to do an all network based install (which means you don't have to do 
the modifications to the kickstart as outlined below), or to download this ( 
http://ovirt.org/download/Fedora-Unity-20080204-8-x86_64-DVD.iso ) updated Fedora 8 DVD that has the 
bug in question fixed. Once you have the updated DVD, you can build the appliance:"

For the developer version there is another method you can use.  Simply copy the iso image to your 
hard drive and point the install at it.


I'm guessing that the developer page will be updated shortly....
