And of course I checked the sha-sum and it was the same I found on the ftp-server!

Wait Actual Results: http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/7828/rimg0172ax6.jpg This screen... Expected Results: Fedora "Live" Additional info:
Same here. Maybe it has something to do, that I only have SATA disks in use?
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. Not sure if its relevant: I've also extracted the livecd-initramfs.img from the live-cd. There ist no pata_via and ata_generic. When the boot stops the only loaded modules are: ehci_hdc and uhci_hcd.
test2 should be a lot better here. We were missing a few (important) modules due to typos in the module list. Can you try again with test2?
(In reply to comment #3) > Can you try again with test2? On my hardware test2 is booting fine.
Both F7 test 1 and F7 test 2 Live CDs are failing on my machine. :(
Moving to 'devel' as discussed on https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-March/msg00095.html.
(In reply to comment #3) > Can you try again with test2? Sure! And now it works fine on my machine (too). (In reply to comment #5) > Both F7 test 1 and F7 test 2 Live CDs are failing on my machine. :( Is it exactly the same error? It seems to me, that the bug is fixed with test2 (in regard with my experiences and Mr. Vahl's)...

It is exactly the same error. I will attach a screenshot. The machine is: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=db8555c4-4b6b-4a6f-a7ea-79aeb1278dc6

Same error on my machine, both with test 1 and with test 2 http://smolt.fedoraproject.org//show?UUID=9147f5d7-edfc-4494-95e9-0a5f1e831296
Created attachment 149324 [details] Error messages returned by test2 livecd, before the warning I just realized that test2 version of the livecd returns something before the warning. Hope it helps. Again, the machine is http://smolt.fedoraproject.org//show?UUID=9147f5d7-edfc-4494-95e9-0a5f1e831296
For the cases which are still failing, can you look in /sys/block when you get dropped into the shell and see what's there? Also, what's in /proc/modules?
# ls /sys/block ram0 ram10 ram12 ram14 ram2 ram4 ram6 ram8 sda ram1 ram11 ram13 ram15 ram3 ram5 ram7 ram9 sr0 # cat /proc/modules sr_mod 20581 0 - Live 0xce8b4000 cdrom 36961 1 sr_mod, Live 0xce8c0000 sd_mod 24513 0 - Live 0xce89e000 ehci_hcd 36185 0 - Live 0xce8aa000 ohci_hcd 25185 0 - Live 0xce84a000 uhci_hcd 27609 0 - Live 0xce835000 ata_piix 19141 0 - Live 0xce819000 ata_generic 12101 0 - Live 0xce831000 libata 112869 2 ata_piix,ata_generic, Live 0xce881000 scsi_mod 141101 3 sr_mod,sd_mod,libata, Live 0xce85d000
(In reply to comment #14) Hmmm, so that looks like the block device is there and getting found. What's the output of /lib/udev/vol_id -l /dev/sr0?
Well... I can ls the /dev/sr0. But when I invoke the vol_id command, I am getting an endless (I assume) output of "ata2.00: qc timeout" errors. I just turned off the power after a couple of minutes since there seemed to be no ending and also no way to abort it. A screenshot will follow...

(In reply to comment #13) > For the cases which are still failing, can you look in /sys/block when you get > dropped into the shell and see what's there? Also, what's in /proc/modules? In my /sys/block I have ram0 ram10 ram12 ram14 ram2 ram4 ram6 ram8 ram1 ram11 ram13 ram15 ram3 ram5 ram7 ram9 and after this output it start a sequence of "ata2: port failed to respond" messages (this time endless, I have to reboot). I tried to list the content of /proc/modules but the sequence of error message started as soon as I tried to cd to /proc. I'll try again and post the results.
Okay -- Saverio and Richard, your problems both look like problems with the kernel recognizing and working (respectively) with your CD drives. I hate asking this, but can you file separate bugs against the kernel so that they can be tracked properly. You've got different hardware and slightly different symptoms and so it would be a lot easier if we could track them individually. Closing this out as the original reporter's bug has been resolved
For reference: I have opened Bug 233202. Thanks for your help, Jeremy.
