Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@dev15-64 ~]# uname -a Linux dev15-64 2.6.38.5-24.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri May 6 08:00:28 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@dev15-64 ~]# rpm -q livecd-tools livecd-tools-15.7-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: livecd-creator \ --config=/usr/share/spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks \ --fslabel=Fedora-LiveCD --cache=/var/cache/live Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use livecd-creator to create a spin (Fedora LiveCD in this case) 2. After ISO is created boot it. 3. I have tried booting it many different ways (Under VmWare Workstation 7.1.4, Virtualbox, and using a live-iso-to-disk for a flash drive boot). Actual results: The boot process get to a point where one sees: umount: /squashfs: not found next one sees a series of sequential mount failure output: mount: unknown filesystem type 'DM_snapshot_cow' mount: unknown filesystem type 'DM_snapshot_cow' mount: unknown filesystem type 'DM_snapshot_cow' after that you are dropped in the dracut debug shell: Dropping to debug shell. sh: can't access tty; job crontrol turned off dracut:/# Expected results: Live CD should boot. Additional info: 1) Tried creating the process above a few times and one time I was successful. Could not repeat the successful time. Always rebooted Fedora 15 each time before Live CD creation. The "/dev/loop0" device sometimes does not can cleaned up from a previous livecd creation try. 2) Tried setting rd.break=mount as a parameter on the kernel boot line and poked around a little to see if I was missing something. ---RWH
There's a new version of dracut working its way out to updates-testing that should fix this.
Brian: Updated to the new dracut: dracut-009-10.fc15.noarch This version has fixed the above issue. Can now build ISO's again. Thank you for your support. ---RWH
This bug has not been fixed so far as i got the same problem while booting Fedora 15 live USB. My Machine: Sony VAIO W219 Netbook Intel Atom N470 1.83Ghz 32bit 2GB RAM Sandisk MicroSD card Steps i did : Downloaded Fedora 15 ISO : http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/15/Live/i686/Fedora-15-i686-Live-Desktop.iso Converted and transferred IOS to USB using liveusb-creator Rebooted the machine Fedora Boot Screen Appeared. Started booting up... Unexpectedly debug shell appeared and says can't access tty
liveusb-creator is a different tool than livecd-creator, please file a bug against liveusb-creator with as much information as you can gather. Since it stops at a debug shell a photo of the screen is probably the best you can do.
Please reopen this bug, it's still valid. Updated from fc 14 to fc 15 and i can't build a live cd using livecd-creator, i got the same error reported here. dracut version is dracut-009-12.fc15.noarch TIA Angelo
On comment #5, Apologize, with a better investigation i understood it was my fault, the kickstart i used was configured for fc 14 repos.
