Description of problem: I created a Fedora 19 live CD and PXE image using mock on Fedora 20. The PXE image boots fine if I do NOT have updates repo enabled. When booting the PXE image built with the updates repo enabled I get: Warning: /dev/mapper/live-rw does not exist Starting Dracut Emergency Shell... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build a Fedora 19 live cd with the updates repo enabled 1.1. livecd-creator --cache=cache /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/fedora-live-desktop.ks 2. Convert the image to pxe and load onto a server 2.1. livecd-iso-to-pxeboot livecd-fedora-live-desktop-201408131009.iso 2.2. tftpconfig: LABEL F19 KERNEL Images/Ssdt/f19/vmlinuz0 APPEND rootflags=loop initrd=Images/Ssdt/f19/initrd0.img root=live:/livecd-fedora-live-desktop-201408111655.iso rootfstype=auto ro rd.live.image quiet rhgb rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 mem=8G 3. Boot a client machine Actual results: Drop into the Dracut Emegency Shell. Expected results: PXE image boots to the Desktop. Additional info: I tried holding back some packages, but I haven't found one that seems to improve the situation: repo --name=updates --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch --exclude=dracut* --exclude=systemd* --exclude=*abrt* --exclude=libgudev1 --exclude=device-mapper* --exclude=lvm2 --exclude=kernel*
This is going to be a bug with one of the updated packages, not livecd-tools.
Can you point me to where I should file this bug? Since a component is required in filing the bug report, livecd-tools seemed to be the best resource for looking into this, as you probably have a way to verify that the images are being properly generated. Note that the live cd output works fine, but it's the PXE image that's failing. Thanks, Matt
For what it's worth, I ran into this. After upgrading my PXE image to F20, it worked again.

Running with rd.debug will make dracut dump lots of info about what it is doing which may reveal what the problem is.
