The way to work around this is to edit the kernel command line to have 'root=/dev/sdX' where X is the number of the USB key. Alternatively, you can use livecd-iso-to-disk on a FAT formatted USB key. There is a known bug using an ext2/3 formatted key, but FAT works fine. josh -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
