Description of problem: trying to pxeboot LiveCD image created by livecd-iso-to-pxeboot fails to mount root Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-034-64.git20131205.fc20.1.x86_64 and also tried Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-1.iso How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. livecd-iso-to-pxeboot Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-1.iso 2. network boot the generated image 3. Actual results: drops to dracut shell after long delay waiting for rootfs. Expected results: Fedora Live boot Additional info: Actually trying to produce our own pxeboot live image using current Fedora 20 and experienced the problem. Then tried with official LiveCD and same problem. If I add the squashfs.img file to to the initramfs instead of the iso and load that as root=live:/squashfs.img then it boots kind of.. except that it's not the right rootfs for a LiveCD. The iso file is verified to be present at expected path in the initramfs. Kernel command line: rootflags=loop initrd=initrd0.img root=live:/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-1.iso rootfstype=auto ro rd.live.image quiet rhgb rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0
Works fine in rawhide, and judging from dracut commit history this was fixed in 036 by this commit: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/dracut/dracut.git/commit/?id=c84618d7ac5cf87c6efaaca00e52f69dcff954e1 loop is a module in fedora.
Err, don't know what happened there, wrong git url. This one: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/dracut/dracut.git/commit/?id=ba9368fa4fedda0f72d84f910d01d7da201405a3
Would be great if a fix for this can appear in Fedora 20, as oVirt Node PXE boot is blocked by this.
FWIW, I have confirmed that the same procedure works fine with F19, so this is a regression in F20.
