Subject: Re: root= for F11 Live CD PXE

Hey folks,
I'm looking at the documentation here:
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/HowToPxeAnyLiveCd and using
Fedora-11-i686-Live.iso
I'm not clear on what the root path should be in the kernel options.
The
full path to my ISO is
/mnt/isos/fedora/Fedora-11-i686-Live/Fedora-11-i686-Live.iso, so I
have
'root=/mnt/isos/fedora/Fedora-11-i686-Live/Fedora-11-i686-Live.iso
rootfstype=iso9660 rootflags=loop !text !lang !ksdevice' for my
kernel
options.
This causes the boot to fail:
VFS: Cannot open root device
"/mnt/isos/fedora/Fedora-11-i686-Live/Fedora-11-i686-Live.iso" or
unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available
partitions:
0800 78125000 sda driver: sd
0801 204800 sda1
0802 77919263 sda2
0b00 1048575 sr0 driver: sr
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)
Should I be using a relative path and put the iso in a magic
directory
somewhere?
You need an upgraded livecd-to-pxeboot scripts in order to implement required logic on
initrd, I'm using "livecd-tools-013-9.i386.rpm" in order to make it work.
With older versions it complained somewhat similar to your messages.
Regards
Pablo

I did this using Version 024 release 1.fc11, which looks to be newer than that one (4
weeks old).
