It even shows you this in the example in the comment above that. I don't think so, I do hard disk installs from the DVD image all the time, and that's basically the same thing I do and it works fine. I usually put the vmlinuz and initrd.img files in a f13/ subdir rather than renaming them with an f13 prefix, but I don't know why that would matter. The only kernel option I generally provide is something like: repo=hd:LABEL=CALIBAN:/install-iso/fedora/x86_64/Fedora-13-x86_64-DVD so I don't have to tell anaconda manually where the hard disk image is located. That error sounds more like the vmlinuz image is corrupted. You could try running "file" to ask what it is (I think it should be an ELF executable?) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
