Hello All,
I am starting using Cobbler. I have Memtest and DBAN working correctly on my system but for the life of me cannot get Fedora to boot into an install wizard.
I have tried Importing a Fedora 20 DVD and mirroring Both Fedora 18 and 20 from mirrors.kernel.org
All end with
Warning: Could not Boot Warning: /dev/root does not exist
My kopts are as follows:
repo=http://192.168.XX.XX/cblr/links/Fedora-20-x86_64/ stage2=http://192.168.XX.XX/cblr/links/Fedora-20-x86_64/LiveOS/squashfs.img
I am out of idea's on how to fix this.

There are probably relevant messages from the kernel before these, can you pastebin the full log?

I don't think you pass a stage2 to the installer. Per my setup for FC20, all I pass is repo=
-Nish
Here is the paste bin of the boot log.

I think the issue is that dhcp is failing, so your install can't download anything.
This seems wrong: ksdevice=${net0/mac}?

I have got this exact same error message sometimes when provisioning Fedora 20 and RHEL 7.0. Althought the error message is completely non-intuitive, usually the root cause is that system fails to setup network via DHCP.

Yes adding ksdevice=link got me up and running but that might not have completed fixed my problem.
