Thats pretty weird to me. It works fine for me here in all my tests.
Additionally, the F22 Xfce spin is made with the exact same
livecd-tools, kernel, anaconda and packages that the workstation one is
made from. The only difference is the package set. Booting and such
should be the exact same on both.

Hi Kevin,
This may help. This is the various "linux16" from
various grub.cfg. I didn't keep one for FC21 XFce.
FC22 GNome line 84:
linux16 /vmlinuz-4.0.4-301.fc22.x86_64+debug
root=UUID=d9ad5224-8ae4-47a0-957c-251a80942f31 ro rhgb quiet
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
FC22 Xfce:
linux16 /vmlinuz-4.0.4-301.fc22.x86_64 root=/dev/sda2 ro rhgb quiet
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
