[Fedora-livecd-list] livecd-tools, rawhide and no /dev/root

[Sebastian Vahl]

Hi.

Yesterday I've started to create a live-cd with the livecd-tools based
on rawhide. I encountered the same problem with f7test1-live:
no /dev/root:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227734

In vmware and qemu the cd boots fine but show some errors: Both found a
fault with a deprecated device link in 00-cdlabel.rules and
00-livecd.rules:

When I saved /etc/udev/rules.d/00-livecd.rules to my fc6 and f7 boxes,
put the cd into the cd-drive and restart udev with "/sbin/udev_start/"
the link /dev/livecd was correctly created.

I've also tried to insert some modules into the initramfs (pata_via,
ata_generic) but this don't help. I've tried two ways:

1. Added them to /usr/bin/livecd-creator:
mayflowerconf.write('MODULES+="cdrom pata_via ata_generic ide-cd ahci
loop dm_snapshot squashfs ext3 ehci_hcd uhci_hcd ohci_hcd usb_storage
sd_mod sr_mod usbhid ata_piix"\n')

2. Extracted the content of livecd-initramfs.img, copied the modules
into the directory lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2947.fc7, recreated the
initramfs and mastered the cd.

But still the only modules loaded before the error are: ehci_hcd and
uhci_hcd.

On my normal rawhide installation an "lsmod | grep ata" shows: 
pata_via               15557  7 
ata_generic            11973  0 
libata                112741  2 pata_via,ata_generic
scsi_mod              140717  4 sr_mod,sg,libata,sd_mod



My question here is: Where is the error? :)
I assume it is in the creation of the initramfs in correlation with
libata (I have no sata). But I don't know a way to create a working one.

Is there a newer version of the livecd-tools? I still use this one:
http://people.redhat.com/davidz/livecd/i386/livecd-tools-001-1.i386.rpm
And livecds based on fc6 works fine.
