Yes, if you are building for newer than Fedora 9's mkinitrd, then you have to do the initrd build by hand as you've done. This is because this had no place being in livecd-creator to begin with really. I updated the stock configs and put blinking warnings in the commit log for that reason :-) > WARNING: Bogus /etc/fstab file - cannot have /dev/root as the device for / This is a warning that I should just kill.

Unfortunately, the only real way to be able to handle this is 1) Install an older version of squashfs-tools on your build host 2) Build your image without compression (--skip-compression) 3) Have a kernel with a newer squashfs kernel module Jeremy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
