Installer now fails to install from URL

Ask Fedora

I have this ks.cfg file:
graphical
url --url “Index of /pub/fedora/linux/releases/42/Everything/x86_64/os”

firstboot --disable
keyboard --vckeymap=${Preference_InitialKeyboardLayout} --xlayouts=“${Preference_InitialKeyboardLayout}”
lang en_US.UTF-8
timezone ${Preference_InitialTimeZone:-“Etc/UTC”} --utc
network --onboot=yes --bootproto=dhcp
rootpw ${Preference_InitialUserPassword} --iscrypted
user --groups=wheel --name=tangarora --password=${Preference_InitialUserPassword} --iscrypted
zerombr
clearpart --all
autopart --nohome ${Preference_DiskEncryption_RH}
reboot
– it used to work great, bu now all of a sudden it fails because:
dracut-initqueue[17451]: dracut: FATAL: Failed to find and mount /dev/loop0
dracut: FATAL: Failed to find and mount filesystem in /tmp/curl_fetch_url/install.img
dracut: Refusing to continue

looks like it cannot mount the install image anylonger??? I think I cannot do anything since it appears to be a problem with how fedora installs…

You need to boot with either inst.stage2 or inst.repo, see:

Using the latter option makes the kickstart url directive redundant.

so the url directive no longer works?

It works as intended when using the correct boot method:

The --location key also supports netinstall and server images.
