           Summary: instsys mount failed (mount: /dev/loop0: Invalid
                    argument) during PXE install from http url
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.2
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Installation
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8)

While trying to install via PXE using
install=http://1.2.3.4/openSUSE11_2x64/CD1, that mount ends up failing.  The
critical error seems to be "mount: /dev/loop0: Invalid argument".

The surrounding lines look like

mount /download/file_0001 -> /mounts/mp_0000
insmod /modules/squashfs.ko
mount: /download/file_0001: we need a loop device
mount: using /dev/loop0
mount: /dev/loop0: Invalid argument
instsys mount failed: /mounts/mp_0000
disk: mount ok but test failed

I'm not really sure how to gather more information, but together with the other
bug I just reported (which blocks nfs installs), I'm still hunting for a way to
successfully install 11.2 over the network.  (11.1 worked fine.)

Reproducible: Always
