The iso's are on a fat32 partition. And I am using loadlin to boot into
the
linux installer. When I get the welcome to fedora screen, I do an alt +
f2
to switch to the command shell and when I mount the partition holding
the
iso images, its exactly the same as you mentioned. I even checked the
sha1 signatures to confirm proper downloading. Its still giving the
same error.
Any more clues.... ?
Regards,
R.M.D.
