I downloaded the Fedora 10 live cd today to test this, again fail on
mounting the iso. I cant find the fedora 9 livecd
The f11 and f10 tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default are:
APPEND rootflags=loop initrd=initrd0.img root=/F10-i686-Live.iso
rootfstype=iso9660 ro liveimg quiet rhgb
APPEND rootflags=loop initrd=initrd0.img root=/Fedora-11-i686-Live.iso
rootfstype=auto ro liveimg quiet rhgb
I have tried in many many various way to try to integrate the options from
these to replace/add to/compliment the defaults options in cobbler, but
again its the mounting of the iso that seems to always be problem. The main
thing that seems to be a certain from reading threads on the web is that
root must equal "root=/livecd.iso"
If anyone sucessfully boots any pxeboot converted livecd using cobbler, can
you please show me your config so i can try to copy it?
Thanks
