boot logs of l-i-t-d created USB installer none

Description Tim Flink 2012-03-26 15:56:22 UTC
Created attachment 572786 [details]
boot logs of l-i-t-d created  USB installer

Description of problem:
I created USB media with the following command:
livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr /path/to/image.iso /dev/sdb

The process completed successfully but I get dropped to the dracut shell when I attempt to use the USB media to install.

I attached the boot log with dracut and systemd debugging turned on

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
livecd-tools-16.11-1.fc16

Comment 1 Tim Flink 2012-03-26 16:14:28 UTC
Proposing as blocker for F17 beta because this is the primary supported method for creating bootable USB install media

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2012-03-26 17:33:52 UTC
Discussed at 2012-03-26 QA meeting acting as a blocker review meeting. Accepted as a blocker per Alpha criterion "The installer must boot (if appropriate) and run on all primary architectures, with all system firmware types that are common on those architectures, from default live image, DVD, and boot.iso install media" in the specific case of DVD/boot.iso written to USB with livecd-iso-to-disk. Note, bcl believes this is actually a bug in 17's anaconda-dracut.

This turns out to be another case of 806966.
