Hi, I tried to install the latest Fedora 21 from the Network Install Image DVD ( https://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease#server http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/21-Alpha/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-21_Alpha.iso )
I did these step to install the distribution: 1.) Extract the initrd and boot options from the DVD via a loop device mount 2.) Boot UML with: linux mem=800M umid=fedora21 eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.1.150 ubd0=images/Fedora21-Root.img ubd1=images/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-21_Alpha.iso plymouth.enable=0 initrd=images/initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Fedora-S-21_A-x86_64 ip=192.168.1.151::192.168.1.150:255.255.255.0:servername:eth0:off nameserver=8.8.8.8 3.) I only added the option "plymouth.enable=0" because the plymouth get's confused by the missing KMS(?!) The problem is, that this only works when I remove the default root option from UML, as the dracut, get's confused by the root= option. So as many modern distributions boot via an initramfs image and autodetect the root partition automatically, I want to know what do you think about the removal of the default root option from UML? with kind regards thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
