[Users] Node ISO problem

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 aka mivaho on irc

To answer my own problem :) Thanks to Svedrin on IRC the solution was found. I had to change a line at boot time. This part: root=live:CDLABEL=ovirt-node-image Should be (at least for supermicro virtual USB cd users): root=live:/dev/sr0 Now I was able to install the node, but needed to go back to the ovirt-node-image-2.2.2-2.2.fc16.iso one because the 2.2.3 gave me a lot of errors. Thnx for the help, Michel
