Just out of curiosity, why did you use the Alpha ISO for testing rather than the Beta TC1 ISO? I can't see that it would be relevant to the crash, but it jumped out at me from the logs.

Right now this is kind of ambiguous between Beta and Final blocker according to the criteria - Beta says "The installer must be able to use the HTTP, FTP and NFS remote package source options", Final says "The installer must be able to use all supported local and remote package source options" - but I believe we intended NFS ISO to be considered different from NFS, and come under Final, so proposing as a Final blocker and Beta NTH.

Thanks for pointing out this mistake, I didn't see the 'Don't mix images' warning on:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_install_repository_NFSISO_default

which require the exact architecture ... and I have retested the case again with a Beta TC1 ISO, which did not crash any more, but still meet this bug#727522.

Yes, it would be better to set this as a Final blocker, because it is not so urgent at this stage according to the criteria.

Discussed at 2011-09-02 NTH review meeting. It looks like this specific bug is invalid, caused by pilot error; the remaining bug is already reported and should be followed at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727522 . Closing. Tao, if I missed something, please re-open. thanks!
Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2011-09-06 18:42:04 UTC 
So, 727522 is supposed to be fixed in Beta TC1, and the other NFS tests did pass...so if you hit the error from 727522 doing an NFS-ISO install of Beta TC1, I guess that's actually a slightly different bug. Is that what happened?
