Tracking bug for things that we want to fix for the Fedora 7 Live CD spin
When I try to boot the "Fedora Core 6 Zod LiveCD 1 iso image for i386" , my monitor shows that the resolution is too high / out of specification. I end up with a blank screen and have no way of accessing Fedora. I was hoping that I would be able to use a command line option to force Fedora to use something other than the settings in the Kickstart configuration files. But this appears to not be an option. See topic: [Fedora-livecd-list] Setting video resolution on boot up.
I've attempted to use the Fedora7-T1 Live CD and the boot stops after locating the USB ports and SCSI -attached scsi removable disc sda through sdd. Boot stops with "Warning, cannot find root file system" "create symlink /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue the boot sequence". As info, other Live CD's boot without error and I'm currently booting 7 different distros on the two hard drives. Three Live CD's were downloaded from both the bittorrent and ftp mirrors and all passed sha1sum and were burned at 12x, the minimum speed on my CD-RW. Also, as info, this same problem has been reported on FedoraForum.org by two other members.
the message Warning, cannot find root file system" "create symlink /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue the boot sequence occurred after finding the ps2 mouse (logitech trackball model :marble mouse) asus a7v8x-x 1gb ram downloaded via torrent and sha1sum was good
I've seen the same message listed in comment #3, on a Shuttle SN41G2 which has the nForce 2 chipset. Perhaps it is not using the pata_amd module, which needed to be loaded manually for the normal F7 test 1 DVD in order to detect the DVD drive. Also, when listing the partitions, the kernel claims to find /dev/sda1 as a 1000MB partition, even though there is no such disk on this system.
I also have the same problem - "Warning, cannot find root file system". My laptop: AMD Sempron 3000+, 512MB from which 32MB are used by video card.

I have the luck to have at least one machine which works with it. Here is the output of dmesg from the one that does not work (same way as described in comment #2): http://feannatar.hostuju.cz/fedora/downloads/dmesg-bad.txt Here is the output of dmesg from the one that does work: http://feannatar.hostuju.cz/fedora/downloads/dmesg-good.txt And here they are diffed: http://feannatar.hostuju.cz/fedora/downloads/dmesg-diff.txt From rough look it seems that no IDE is found as well as no HDD/DVD/CD. On both machines I have FC6 working.
Same problem here. I use VIA VT8237 controller with 2 hard drive attached as SATA drives, and promise controller with 2 hard drives as well (one SATA other SATAII). This machine has Asus k8x deluxe board. It also failed with ABIT board (possibly A7V800) with one IDE hard drive attached.
Same problem with - Warning, cannot find root file system" "create symlink /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue the boot sequence. I tried on two different computers, one with a ASRocK 939 Dual-SATA2 mobo with a SATA drive, the other a MSI KT4AV mobo with an IDE drive. Same results both times. The ISO I am using was downloaded on February 9, 2007 from the Duke University server.
Same problem (no /dev/root) here with F7test1 on two machines: 1. http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=e689326b-2c7d-4fbc-969e-f6293086ab97 2. http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=2e386ff4-8c36-4017-bae0-deab54df7e77 Also a self created livecd with livecd-tools based on todays rawhide stopped at the same point. The rawhide installation itself boots fine.
eject not found error on FC7RC3 when trying to boot livecd with live_ram
(In reply to comment #10) > eject not found error on FC7RC3 when trying to boot livecd with live_ram this is b/c FC7RC3 livecd-fedora-minimal.ks does not have eject in the % packages list
Fedora 7 Live CD - boot freezes at "OK, Booting the kernel" on a Dell Latitude D820. CD is fine, booted successfully on a Dell GX270, SHA1 computes. Also, FC6 Live CD booted fine on the D820.

Also, > FC6 Live CD booted fine on the D820. Known issue, I do believe: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/F7Common Boot with maxcpus=1 and it should work. A later kernel update will fix this one.
F7 i386 Live CD on a Via Epia (Mk1) gets as far as "OK, Booting the kernel" then spontaneously reboots.
Would it be possible to have memtest included on the Live CD boot screen, please, or at least an option to do so?
Similar sounding issue to #14. I have a VIA C3 based PC Chips M789 homebrew PC and the Fedora 7 i686 Live CD gets as far as loading the initrd.img and then reboots.
