Summary | 0007317: The installer initrd image should have loop,ext4, ntfs-3g | ||||
Description | The installer initrd doesn't have loop, ext4, ntfs modules/libs. If these were present we could just iso-scan the iso image on a ntfs/ext4 hard drive without having to format a usb drive back to fat32. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Just put the iso or copy the files from the iso to any ntfs/ext4 drive. | ||||
Sorry, I don't understand the use-case. What's wrong with just copying the iso straight on a USB drive, and then running it? |
|
It's possible that the usb drive is formatted with ntfs, but fuse modules are not present in the installer initrd. So to make support the usb drive would have to be reformatted to fat. So copying directly to a ntfs filesystem would make installer unable to mount and load modules required for installation. |
