Hi,

Me too here having problem with 2.2.3. I tried with both sel- built  iso and 
official iso in stateless boot.  This used to work in 2.2.2 with stateless 
patches.

In the official iso the problem is similar to Michel van Horseen has seen:  in my case 
Dracut couldn't find root device: liveiso:/..... but this is strange as I have put in 
kernel option root=live:/.... and it should have taken that instead of self invented 
"liveiso:/". This used to work for me with 2.2.2. something broken here.
I'm not really familiar with what do "liveiso:/" and "live:/" mean or what the exact problem is but I've tried to set ovirt-node in pxe, I used a pxeboot script (taken from another rpm since I couldn't find one in ovirt-node package), the script created for me the needed files (ramdisk, kernel and cfg files), and when I've booted from that pxe entry - I found myself in the same problem, got into that shell with the same error message - only my "liveiso:/" pointed to a different path.

I solved that by changing the "liveiso:/blah/blah/blah/ovirt-node.iso" in the kernel path to "live:/ovirt-node.iso", for a backup I copied the ovirt-node.iso file to the same directory where the aforementioned 3 files reside, it worked!

In my own build,  the boot dropped into an emergency shell complaining about 
missing /usr/libexec/ovirt-auto-install file.  I know I chatted with Mike Burns 
for a while yesterday regarding this. This is a new build off tag 
ovirt-node-2.2.3 but the problem seems persisting.

Hi,

Took me some time before I had time to install the new Ovirt. Now that I did
have time, the install was a breeze. Having the RPM repo available helpt a lot
off course. :)
I have the engine running and storage is connected as is the ISO nfs.

Now I wanted to get a VM host running by booting the node ISO but am
running in to a problem.
I put the iso via a NAS as a virtual CD on a SuperMicro systems IPMI. Once I
boot the machine for the first time, so to install the node, it ends with:
---
dracut Warning: No root device "live:/dev/disk/by-label/ovirt-node-image"
found
Dropping to debug shell.

sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

dracut:
---

Looking in /dev/disk there is no by-label directory.

I get this error with 'ovirt-node-image-2.2.2-2.2.fc16.iso' and the latest 
'ovirt-
node-image-2.2.3-1.1.fc16.iso'
This is on first install.

Hope to have a host up and running this week.

Any help is appriciated.

Thnx,

Michel

Once you get to the dracut shell run "blkid" and post those results
