People,

Whether I use a GRUB2 configuration to boot from the XFCE LiveCD iso or
extract the files and not have to use the loopback option - I get the
same problem - the boot process gets past linux and initrd and then has
problems ie:

Indeed, /dev/disk/by-label does not exist but I don't know to how to fix
the problem - assuming it is possible to fix . .

Any ideas / suggestions?

(BTW, this stuff is not "Mission Critical" - it is just an interesting
exercise . . )

Thanks,

Phil.

I don't know if anyone ever tweaked fedora live cds to have
the required support to boot via grub. I know at one time I
read they wouldn't work that way. I do have several livecd
images setup to boot from disk, but none of them are fedora.


You will note I said the boot process gets past the linux and initrd stage - so it is past the grub stage and into the Fedora boot stage - this is a Fedora problem not a GRUB2 problem . .

Thanks,

Phil.
