RE: "BOOT FAILED!" with a live-rw partition (ext2 and ext3 tested)
This would be SWEET and I could see a PERFECT use for something like
this.
PXE boot a base 30MB Live image then as needed, download and add the
different Live Systems you need/want to be mounted. This would save on
network bandwidth as well as give some flexibility to clients with OLDER
hardware which have problems running a FULL say, KDE or GNOME
environment along with OpenOffice and other utilities.
It may take time but I am sure the Live team will see some quite a few
uses for this type of scenario.

Subject: "BOOT FAILED!" with a live-rw partition (ext2 and ext3 tested)
I get
Remounting /dev/sdb2 ro on /cow failed
and a prompt (initramfs) when trying to boot with "persistent" and a
partition named "live-rw".
cat /live.log gives
mount: mounting /dev/sdb2 on /cow failed: Device or resource busy
the list of mounts includes
/
/sys
/proc
/dev
/live/image
/filesystem.squashfs
/cow
/root (aufs)
/root/live (tmpfs)
So it seems some script is trying to mount /cow twice. Just exiting the
shell with Ctrl-d (twice) works, and then the boot goes well. This is a
bit annoying of course.
Kind regards,
