Unable to boot Fedora 15 Live iso image from grub2 (iso-scan/filename kernel parameter)

Unable to boot Fedora 15 Live iso image from grub2 (iso-scan/filename kernel parameter)

[jaivuk]

Hi guys,

I tried to boot Fedora live ISO in form of ISO image from USB
partition (FAT32) where I have grub2 installed but still no luck.

I opened new ticket for this issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723801

I ended up in dracut shell and I tried to mount root manually - I was
successful with that but I still cannot boot:

mkdir -p /liveiso
mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/1234-ABCD /root
losetup -f --show /root/Fedora-15-i686-Live-XFCE.iso
#displayed: /dev/loop0
mount -t auto -o -ro /dev/loop0 /liveiso
#image is mounted to /liveiso
exit
#Now I get the same error message - No root device ... found

Do you think I'm missing some additional commands?

Thank you,

Jaiv

I will implement the missing pieces.. stay tuned.
Btw, Fedora != Ubuntu... you are trying to use kernel command line parameter for
the ubuntu initramfs.
