If you type exit at the prompt, does it then work?  What hardware is this on?

Steps to reproduce:
- as root run "yum clean all && yum -y update && yum install livecd-kickstarts"
- as root run "livecd-creator -c /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks -f F10_Live_x86_64"
- created a 64-bit VMware Server 1.0.8 appliance and set the iso created as the boot cd.
- removed "quiet" on the boot parameters.  Here is what my machine reports before it drops to the bash shell:

Added udev rul 00-cdlabel.rules:
KERNEL == "hd[a-z]", BUS=="ide", SYSFS{removable}=="1", ATTRS{media}=="cdrom", PROGRAM="/lib/udev/vol_id -l %N", RESULT=="F10_Live_x86_64", SYMLINK+="root"
KERNEL == "sr[0-9]", PROGRAM="/lib/udev/vol_id -l %N", RESULT=="F10_Live_x86_64", SYMLINK+="root"
KERNEL == "scd[0-9]", PROGRAM="/lib/udev/vol_id -l %N", RESULT=="F10_Live_x86_64", SYMLINK+="root"
KERNEL == "pcd[0-9]", PROGRAM="/lib/udev/vol_id -l %N", RESULT=="F10_Live_x86_64", SYMLINK+="root"

waiting for system to settle
mounting /dev/root
lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 3 Dec  4 18:26 /dev/root -> sr0
mount: unknown filesystem type 'squashfs'
Bug in initramfs /init detected.  Dropping to a shell.  Good luck!

bash: no job control in this shell
bash=3.2#


________

When I type exit at this prompt or any other command (i.e. ls)  nothing happens.

While this is a similar error message as the original reporter, he was seeing with the official images as opposed to respun images.  You are seeing two different things

1) spin-kickstarts points to rawhide instead of the F10 repos by default
2) The rawhide kernel is missing squashfs at the moment as it rebases to 2.6.28-rc.


Dave -- the information I asked for above would still be helpful in diagnosing what went wrong here.

Closing due to inactivity.  Please reopen if you have further information to add to this bug report.

Comment 5 Qian Cai 2009-01-28 14:48:27 UTC
This looks like the same bug with the kernel and mksquashfs issue, according to this error message here,

mount: unknown filesystem type 'squashfs'
