I'm experimenting with boot.fedoraproject.org again, trying to install a KVM booted from the bfo.iso boot CD image, and I'm noticing some wacky behavior.
When I let the image file boot normally the DHCP step always prints dots for several seconds then fails. If I send a Ctrl-Alt-Del to the KVM after the initial network failure, it reboots and the 2nd DHCP attempt prints one dot then immediately says "Here we go!" (There was a mention of this same behavior for PXE here: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/virt/2010-June/002108.html and the Ctrl-Alt-Del thing worked for gPXE as well). I'm now trying to install f13, and it is downloading the install.img file. Looking at my network stats, it is only managing a data rate of about 15K (occasionally hitting a peak of 20K). Meanwhile, the cpu is running at 99%. Is the gPXE ethernet running one byte at a time polled transfers or something? I'll see if the transfer rate improves once it starts running the anaconda kernel (but it may take a while to get that far :-). _______________________________________________ virt mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
