I'm having difficulty with trying out the Fedora 7 Live CD on my old IBM ThinkPad 600X. When I boot from the CD, I quickly get the messages: pci 0000:00:01.0: Error creating sysfs bridge symlink, continuing pci 0000:00:02.0: Error creating sysfs bridge symlink, continuing pci 0000:00:02.1: Error creating sysfs bridge symlink, continuing then a short pause and then the message cpufreq: change failed with new_state 1 and result then a longer pause (about 1 minute) and then the message: -------------------------------------- WARNING: Cannot find root file system! -------------------------------------- Create symlink /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue the boot sequence. and then a bash prompt. I can get rid of the first messages by adding the option pci=noacpi to the boot command line, but the real problem is that the CD drive doesn't seem to get recognized. I know the drive works: I can boot off of it, and in Fedora Core 6 (which I have currently running on the system, with acpi=noirq), it works fine. Does anyone have an idea of what I can try next to get the Live CD to work? Although what I really want to know is whether the system can run under F7 (that's why I'm trying out the Live CD). Since I only have an extremely limited environment with the interactive shell, I can't record any data from the F7 kernel. -- Sjoerd Mullender
