dracut does not understand "$isofile" and "iso-scan/filename=$isofile" this is _not_ UBUNTU! One workaround is to use livecd-iso-to-pxeboot which appends ISO to the initramfs, then root=live:/filename.iso works, it's read from ramfs directly. I vote for this feature, especially because Fedora 16 will use GRUB2. This feature would also allow Fedora to support the loopback.cfg standard: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. Trying to tie together all the macbook boot problems. 64-bit grub2-efi packages do not take 32-bit EFI into consideration Bug 746421 Make installation more Mac friendly Bug 746434 RV530 KMS fails on MacBookPro2,1 EFI Bug 735860 This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Description of problem: This bug is continuation of unresolved bugs 557426 and 650672, I tested this bug last time against F15 live image and I'm opening this bug against rawhide and I'm willing to test it against rawhide as soon as we have any live images ready. (If there are any rawhide live images at all) Getting boot error when trying to boot Fedora 15 Live iso image (XFCE SPIN) from grub2. I have iso image on my usb flash disk. Flash disk is formatted to FAT32 filesystem. Grub2 is installed to the mbr on flash disk. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15 Live iso image (XFCE SPIN) Steps to Reproduce: Here is the configuration of booting item for this live fedora 15 iso: [code] menuentry "Fedora 15 XFCE" { insmod fat set isofile="/Fedora-15-i686-Live-XFCE.iso" loopback loop $isofile linux (loop)/EFI/boot/vmlinuz0 root=live:UUID=1234-ABCD:$isofile rootfstype=auto ro verbose debug boot=EFI/boot iso-scan/filename=$isofile noeject noprompt rd.luks=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 initrd (loop)/EFI/boot/initrd0.img } [/code] Actual results: At the end of booting attempt I end up in dracut shell: [code] [ 24.6... ] dracut Warning: No root device "live:/dev/disk/by-uuid/1234-ABCD:/Fedora-15-i686-Live-XFCE.iso" found [/code] Expected results: Booting Live Fedora 15 without any problems. There are no such problems when booting Ubuntu 10.04 this way. Additional info: From dracut shell I tried to restore booting process but I was not successful - maybe I'm missing some commands? [code] mkdir -p /liveiso mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/1234-ABCD /root losetup -f --show /root/Fedora-15-i686-Live-XFCE.iso #displayed: /dev/loop0 mount -t auto -o -ro /dev/loop0 /liveiso #image is mounted to /liveiso exit #Now I get the same error message - No root device ... found [/code]
