I just found that the iso images created with livecd-tools-015 under 
CentOS 5
don't boot correctly:

[...]
ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe
Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

I still can't figure this one. Even a minimal iso image displays this 
behavior.
