Snooping the NFS traffic shows the install successfully mounting the distro dvd iso, and failing to find a /Fedora directory there. Sure 'nuff, that's a difference between F8test1 and earlier releases of fedora and F8test2.
You're stating two different (and incompatible things) here. First that you've loopmounted the iso and exported the contents, second that your install /also/ mounted the iso, which it couldn't have unless you pointed to a nfs directory which just had the .iso file sitting there.
Which is it?
No I'm not. Seems clear and concise to me. But I'll restate it for you. The iso is loop mounted on a nfs server, which virt-install/virt-manager is told about through using nfs:192.168.0.1:/mnt as an argument. Previous versions of the distro had a Fedora directory at the root of the dvd iso. f8test2 does not, therefore, the install fails.
