Description astroxeu 2014-01-30 20:52:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
Cannot boot Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-20-1.iso, on 2 laptops.

GRUB2 command line:
linux (lo)/isolinux/vmlinuz0 root=live:UUID=$uuid_del_fs_delle_iso iso-scan/filename=$isofile
where (lo) is the loop-mounted iso.

I will attach the rdsosreports.

Screenshot from QEMU

Got this by running
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048 -cdrom Fedora-Live-Jam-KDE-x86_64-rawhide-20140302.iso

I got a message suggesting I save the rdosreport.txt file, but I didn't know how to do that from qemu. I didn't have a USB drive handy. I can cat the file to the screen, and I think I can mount in the QEMU VGA screen.

The screenshot of the VGA screen shows the end of a cat of the rdosreport.txt file.

After booting in qemu, I selected Troubleshooting, and edited the Boot in basic graphics line to remove rhgb and quiet.

+ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=(lo)/isolinux/vmlinuz0 root=live:UUID=BE37-227A iso-scan/filename=/boot-isos/Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-20-1.iso

But! The ISO has UUID=2013-12-12-01-51-40-00.

so, the correct kernel cmdline would have been:

root=live:UUID=2013-12-12-01-51-40-00 iso-scan/filename=/boot-isos/Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-20-1.iso

Or

root=live:LABEL=Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-20-1 iso-scan/filename=/boot-isos/Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-20-1.iso
