Created attachment 758577 [details] Truncated end of the dmesg output from System 1 Description of problem: I've tested the recently added "iso-scan/filename" parameter (by the way thanks for implementing it) with the Fedora 19 Beta and it works fine when the iso file is on the internal harddrive but I have problems using it on a USB thumbdrive. How reproducible: Reproducible on 2 of 3 systems (see Actual results) Steps to Reproduce: I've used the following grub.cfg entry to boot the Fedora 19 Beta Live iso: if test -f /boot/iso/Fedora-19-Beta.iso; then menuentry 'Fedora 19 Beta' { set isofile="/boot/iso/Fedora-19-Beta.iso" loopback loop "$isofile" set root=(loop) linux /isolinux/vmlinuz0 iso-scan/filename=$isofile root=live:LABEL=Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-19-Be ro rd.live.image quiet rhgb rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 initrd /isolinux/initrd0.img } fi Actual results: On some systems the live system won't boot and drops to the emergency shell. I've tested it on three systems: - System 1 boots fine if the iso file is on the internal harddrive but cannot find the iso file if it is on the USB thumbdrive - System 2 won't boot from the USB thumbdrive - System 3 successfully boots from the USB thumbdrive Expected results: Successful boot of the live system on all systems. Additional info: My assumption would be that the iso detection script is executed before the USB drive is recognized.
