[Fedora-livecd-list] Fedora 7 fails to boot "Cannot find root file system"

[Jon Steer]

I just burned a CD and attempted to boot the F7 CD outside of the VM
environment. It hung in roughly the same place.

The VM environment that the CD was running is a Microsoft R2 VM
server.  This VM server has been running quite a few FC6-based builds
using iso's built with the old liveCD creator tools.

However, the environment that this F7 CD was built in was a stock F7
environment with qemu running.

Should the build environment affect the CD? I thought all of the
system would be downloaded and cached so build system based issues
wouldn't come into play?

thanks,
jon
