Any of the recently nightly live media don't appear to boot correctly. They get a: No root device found Boot has failed, sleeping forever. I tried to poke around with rdshell and initdebug, but I wasn't sure what to look for. ;( I did see running the /cmdline/* scripts was giving a 'getarg' unknown error, but not sure if that was just the way I was calling it or not. Happy to gather more info, or you can try yourself with any of the nightly composes at: http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ dracut-006-1.fc14.noarch
Same here for quite a while now (since before dracut-006-1.fc14).
I guess, this is with a qemu VM. See bug 609049 works, if you replace root=live:CDLABEL=..." with "root=live:/dev/sr0"
As another data point I was able to sucessfully boot both a live DVD and a live USB version of the games spin using games-i386-20100625.15.iso from the nightly compose page.

Ok, thanks for investigating carefully. Do we leave this open or make it a duplicate of bug 609049 then? Will it also require changes to dracut?

No, once qemu can handle the scsi command this bug is fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 609049 ***
Nice fix for qemu! https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609049#c1
I am not sure that this is the same bug but last nightly-composes live media doesn't boot also in vmware. Parameter "root=live:/dev/sr0" doesn't help. Here error messages what I saw: http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/8883/boot1g.png http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/2798/boot2.png I also tried to write iso on USB with livecd-iso-to-disk and boot on real hardware from USB. The same result was with the same error messages.
In reply to Comment 9 That is bug 619020 which we believe has been corrected, as of August 2nd/3rd.
