I had that same problem and resorted to a usb drive install. There's a script that comes with fedora called livecd-iso-to-disk that you can use to create the bootable usb drive. <div>On 8/15/07, Matthew Saltzman <<a href="mailto:mjs@clemson.edu">mjs@clemson.edu</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Wed, 2007-08-15 at 18:45 +0000, Matthew Saltzman wrote: > On Wed, 2007-08-15 at 11:04 -0700, David Boles wrote: > > on 8/15/2007 10:55 AM, Matthew Saltzman wrote: > > > The boot process starts on my Thinkpad T61, but stops with: > > > > > > WARNING: Cannot find root file system! > > > > > > Create symlink /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue > > > the boot sequence. > > > > > > The Thinkpad currently has only WinXP Home.

But thanks anyway. 8^P On further investigation, it appears that the neither the live image nor the install/rescue image contain the driver for the DVD's controller card. I suppose that I can still do a network install. But I also guess that there is no way to run the live image. Is that correct? And will a network install find the DVD when it's done? -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu <a href="http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs">http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs </a> -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list </a> </blockquote></div>
