I have three cdroms (cdrom, burner, dvd) in my pc, the live cd only boots from the ide dvd (the other two are scsi), which is /dev/cdroms/cdrom0. The boot script seems to check only the first cdr for the cd. P.S: I miss midnight commander and cryptoapi including cryptoloop =)
Incidentally, although the cd boots just fine on my nforce shuttle, the init scripts hang at "Starting USB and PCI hotplugging". Also, the x86 doc seems to be out-of-date, since "1280 cdcache" doesn't start a 1280x1024 framebuffer session (no kernel named 1280 found, or some such, is the error message).
old bug, reopen if necessary
