No, I have not. Because on checking this bug tracker
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=Fedora7LiveCD
and many of the problems stated here are essentially the same thing
that I was facing.

I was told the no /dev/root problem is now "fixed". But it appears
that it has not been. Or that it was fixed yet there was another
problem that came in. I believe it has something to do with the issues
addressed here. http://kernelslacker.livejournal.com/72836.html
