Description MuadNu 2009-10-30 21:10:06 UTC

Description of problem:
My laptop doesn't have a CD drive so I need to use a USB stick to install. I did it with no problem in F11 and F12 Alpha. But now I cannot install F12 Beta: after booting from grub, I get the nice graphical boot but then a lot of text appears repeated and then

Tried to remove a fb that we did not own

Boot has failed, sleeping forever

There's a thread at the Fedora forums (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=232275) about people with the same issue, but they got it resolved by using Fedora's livecd-iso-to-disk, but this didn't work for me. I've tried creating the USB using unetbootin, livecd-iso-to-disk, and even just copying the iso to the USB and installing grub directly there.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a liveusb with F12 Beta
2. Boot and go past grub
  
Additional info:
The thread referred to above has more details of what I have tried.

I forgot to say that in the error message it also says "no root device found". That is, I see something like 

-----
No root device found.

Tried to remove an fb that we did not own

I tried to boot using root=LABEL=MYLABEL (MYLABEL being the right label of my usb stick) but I get the same error.

I tried the netinstall iso and I can boot (though I can't install anyway, after the partitioning step I get an error saying something like "cannot mount image #1"). So this seems to be an issue specifically with the live cd.

I don't think this is livecd related specifically.  See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530002 which I submitted for my issue after a yum update to rawhide.

Interesting, that's not what happens in my hardware...
