That's probably the problem. As Jerry suggested, re-make the usb disk
with the new iso rather than just replacing the iso.

In terms of debugging the NFS-based install process, I can recommend 2 things

 - Anaconda has serveral virtual terminals you can look at to see its
logs. It will report things going wrong there. So Ctrl-Fn1 (and
2/3/4/5/6) will show you the various terminals. If you are usign the
graphical installer, it's Ctrl-Alt-Fn#. Look at the terminal that has
the logs, and it will talk about attempting the NFS connection - and
tell you of any errors.

 - Crank up debugging on the NFS server to see what the client is
trying to read.

cheers,
