Hi Mobliners, I made a quick diff with an older version of MIC. I think I have an idea where the problem could come from:
The moblin1 LiveRW/Install images are using a different initrd compared to moblin2. -Moblin1 initrd is relying on udev to mount the devices dynamically. -Moblin2 initrd is using mdev to mount dynamically. The usb script in moblin2 (common-yum) has been changed on 10. October in commit d2f5... before that, the Install/LiveRW images were working for moblin2 (at least for me). Therefore I guess the reason why the loop does not terminate is that the USB-stick cannot be found because the device node (in my case /dev/sdc) is not created (no udev in moblin2 initrd). A solution would be to reinsert the "mdev -s" command in the usb script before the "if mount" command within the while loop, as already done in earlier versions of the usb script in moblin2. However, this works only for moblin2 images, for moblin1 (or apt-get stuff) this is not necessary (at least in my tests).

When I created Live USB image and boot it. The screen always says: Checking device /dev/sda for installation source... Checking device /dev/sdb for installation source... Checking device /dev/sdc for installation source... Checking device /dev/sdd for installation source... Sleeping for 5 seconds Sleeping finished .. What's wrong with rootfs mounting procedure? What does it look for? does it support PATA or SATA kernel modules? We use USB flash booting, such emulation required SATA or PATA support? Please elabroate about how to modify parameters in any /etc files in rootfs before we create any USB image?
