We're having issues with fedora 11 nodes, Alan and I are working on resolving it right now. Hopefully it won't be long! I'm getting frustrated with this one myself :).</blockquote><div> Two issue were identified with livecd initrd in F11: - PXE boot failing with "Could not find any loop device." - loop is built-in since F10 so actually /dev/loop* was missing b/c udev didn't create it in time. Fixed by adding back udevadm settle (removed for F11 in <a href="http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=mkinitrd;a=commitdiff;h=0016a5fb236839db31344fef1c87ad68680e301b" target="_blank">http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=mkinitrd;a=commitdiff;h=0016a5fb236839db31344fef1c87ad68680e301b</a> ) - udev sometimes hangs on startup, root cause unclear: Running plymouthd udev: starting version 141 Note that I didn't get any injected echo output after nash daemonize call in /init !? Workaround for this hang is to remove plymouth completely from initrd scripts, but that's clearly suboptimal. </div></div>Attached is the patch for livecd-iso-to-pxeboot.sh which adds above workarounds into initrd, proper fixes need to be discussed with mkinitrd guys, but with this we can at least get reliable PXE boot.
