Boot error

[Vnpenguin]

Hi all,
Using David's package, I'm trying to create myself a livecd with
/etc/livecd/10-fedora-livecd-base.conf like config. I obtain iso file,
ok, but when trying to boot it with qemu, I see:

...
root (cd)
 Filesystem type is iso9660, using whole disk
kernel /boot/vmlinuz ro quiet root=CDLABEL=LiveCD-20061227
rootfstype=iso9660 livecd
  [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1e00, size=0x1b997f]
initrd /boot/livecd-initramfs.img
  [Linux-initrd @ 0xc522000, 0x2cd149 bytes]

Uncompressing Linux... Ok, boot the kernel.
PCI: PIIX3: Enabling Passive Release on 0000:00:01.0
mount: unknown filesystem type 'squashfs'
Bug in initramfs /init detected. Fropping to a shell. Good luck!

bash: no job control in this shell
bash-3.1#

I use FC6's latest packages. Don't known how to fix this.
Any help will be appreciated.

TIA && Happy New Year !

It took me a while to figure that one myself. Here is a hit. :)

# rpm -qlp kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm | grep squashfs
/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/fs/squashfs
/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/fs/squashfs/squashfs.ko

You might want to use either 2798 or 2849 but not 2868 for your
installation package list.

Hello,

I have the same error, but I can't figure out how to use 2798 or 2489 :-/

Anyways, this is a very interesting tool, many thanks to all contributors !

I setup a local repo on my harddisk. So I can use any version of kernel :-)

Oh, sorry for the delay, been on xmas break and only back today.
Actually the ISO I've posted, and I should have noted this, uses the
2869 kernel from updates-testing. This one is now in regular FC6
updates. The issue is described here
