[Fedora-livecd-list] Additional ATA kernel modules needed?

[Kai Engert]

I experience a boot failure with the Fedora 7 Test 1 LiveCD.

It complains about missing /dev/root, drops me into an emergency shell, 
asking for manual link creation. However, /dev does not contain the CD 
device.

This is probably related to bug 220470 and/or 218444.

The particular system requires the pata_via kernel module in order to 
access the CD drive, which is not contained in the livecd-initramfs.img. 
Actually I don't see any pata modules listed.

Should the LiveCD include more device driver kernel modules, in order to 
allow booting from as many systems as possible?
