EL6 Beta livedvd - no root device found

[Williamson Grant]

Not sure if this is the correct list to post the following to. However Has anyone tried to
create a livedvd/cd on EL6 already.
I seem to be hitting the "no root device found, boot has failed, sleeping
forever" problem.

Yes, I found this to be the case when the cdrom is not defined in the
virtual machine as primary master but as secondary master.
You need to change the VM description. it is a problem with the search
for root device, the change of the vm description is simple
workaround, which is not always available on hw system.

Issue is that cdrom driver (sr) is not built-in in EL6.
You can try my [PATCH livecd-tools] livecd-creator ignores device
directive and add "device sr_mod" in your kickstart.
Harald has also added sr_mod to the list of default modules in dracut
- Harald which NVR was that?
