I tried with the DVDs contents instead of the isos and it still fails with:
"The installation source given by device ['sdb2'] could not be found
But if I go in the console:
  $ mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/isodir
  $ ls /mnt/isodir/centos
  Packages images repodata
Everything needed seems to be accessible...
I cannot find any specific message complaining about a missing/invalid directory in anaconda logs...
Any idea what could be wrong?

Thx,
