Created attachment 378885 [details] A patch to initramfs.img contents Description of problem: I've been using /usr/bin/livecd-creator and /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-pxeboot to setup my PXE booting environment on Fedora10, with success. Recently I moved to Fedora12, and PXE booting fails with following error: dracut: root was live:/LiveCD.iso. liveroot is now /LiveCD.iso dracut: FATAL: Don't know how to handle 'root=live:/LiveCD.iso' dracut: Refusing to continue Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.31.6-166.fc12.i686 livecd-tools-031-1.fc12.1.i686 How reproducible: Create a LiveCD ISO using livecd-creator and use the ISO with livecd-iso-to-pxeboot to create PXE boot images. Use the PXE boot images with PXE boot server (DHCP and tftp servers), and boot a PC with PXE. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Prepare a kickstart config file and use with livecd-creator to create LiveCD ISO image. 2. Use ISO image with livecd-iso-to-pxeboot: # livecd-iso-to-pxeboot ./LiveCD.iso 3. Copy the created content to PXE boot environment and boot PC with PXE. Actual results: Get error on System boot: dracut: root was live:/LiveCD.iso. liveroot is now /LiveCD.iso dracut: FATAL: Don't know how to handle 'root=live:/LiveCD.iso' dracut: Refusing to continue Expected results: Should boot up to login prompt of Linux or GDM. Additional info: I have created a patch for contents of initramfs-2.6.31.6-166.fc12.i686.img file. The patch does: 1. Adds new "liveiso:" directive for the root image to /cmdline/30parse-dmsquash-live.sh file. 2. Adds new script to generate udev rule file accordingly. /pre-udev/30dmsquash-liveiso-genrules.sh
