abadger1999> Anyone here successfully used the netinstall.iso for rc1 alpha?
<abadger1999> In particular: http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15-Alpha.RC1/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-15-Alpha-i386-netinst.iso
<abadger1999> i'm not able to do an install -- I get a kernel oops while booting.
<abadger1999> This is in virt-manager -- x86_64 processor, kvm, x86_64
* abadger1999 tries x86 arch
<adamw> abadger1999: huh. i think it was tested.
<red_alert> I know of people who were using TC1 and TC2 netinst...no idea about rc1
<abadger1999> Still bad.
<abadger1999> trying to unpack the rootfs
<abadger1999> IIRC, I got this when I built my rawhide vm too... that's why I ended up installing F14 and then upgrading.
<red_alert> maybe another 32bit problem? ;)
* abadger1999 goes to find the x86_64 netinstall.
* abadger1999 checks if qemu works where kvm didn't
<wwoods> abadger1999: how much RAM?
<abadger1999> wwoods: 512MB
<wwoods> not enough
<wwoods> F15 will need at least 640MB
<wwoods> maybe 768
<abadger1999> wwoods: Okay.
* abadger1999 makes a vm with more ram
<abadger1999> wwoods: Is that something we can have the virt-manager guys change as a default?
<wwoods> I have a fix for that in the works but it's kind of invasive and may not be ready 'til F16
<wwoods> probably!
<wwoods> ISTR they do per-OS defaults, so we could have them default to 640/768MB specifically for Fedora 15 guests
<abadger1999> <nod>
<abadger1999> Sounds good.
* abadger1999 booting netinstall with more memory now
<abadger1999> wwoods: thanks! that was exactly the issue.
<wwoods> yeah, we're going to be seeing a lot of that one
<wwoods> tell your friends
<adamw> you get all kinds of weirdness trying to run f15 in 512MB
<adamw> it seems like it's nearly but not quite enough :)
<adamw> should probably mention that in commonbugs too
<fenrus02> adamw, 32b or 64b?
<adamw> fenrus02: 64
<fenrus02> adamw, limited testing, but i think it works if you do not use lvm
