 Hi folks,

 My group are considering to replace it's original ClasmatePC SO MetaSYS
 (used on Brasil) with Sugar.

 I had tested Sugar Live from
 http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads#GNU.2FLinux added to my pendrive
 with UNetBootin and works well.

 (Update: I also tried to create the live pendrive using the tools_livecd-
 iso-to-disk.sh and that works as live pendrive, but the installation fails
 again by the same way)

 The problem is when we try to install it.

 I umount /dev/sdb1 (where is the HD) and run:
 {{{
 /mnt/live/LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 300
 --home-size-mb 175 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
 }}}

 That work with no error. Nice...
 But when i reboot the laptop i see this error:
 {{{
 dracut Warning: No root device "live:/dev/disk/...
 }}}

 I see no /dev/disk and no /dev/sd* ... Where is the problem?

Comment(by aurium):

 ''What version of SoaS are you using?''

 What comes here: Fedora-16-i686-Live-SoaS.iso
  * Sugar on a Stick 6 (Pineapple)

 ''What OS are you using to run livecd-iso-to-disk?''

 The Sugar on a Stick (Fedora live) itself!

 Steps on the fist try:
  1. putted Fedora-16-i686-Live-SoaS.iso on my pendrive
  1. plugged the pendrive on the ClassmatePC
  1. turned on the ClassmatePC
  1. selected the pendrive to boot
  1. wait for the sugar interface
  1. open the sugar terminal
  1. switch to root
  1. runed /mnt/live/LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-
 mb 300 --home-size-mb 175 --delete-home --unencrypted-home /dev/sda1
 /dev/sdb1
  1. rebooted and removed the pendrive before the restart.
  1. Then, the error happens.

 Also tried to copy the Fedora-16-i686-Live-SoaS.iso in the pendrive and
 run:
  1. ...
  1. runed /mnt/live/LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-
 mb 300 --home-size-mb 175 --delete-home --unencrypted-home
 /mnt/live/Fedora-16-i686-Live-SoaS.iso /dev/sdb1
  1. rebooted and removed the pendrive before the restart.
  1. Then, the error happens.
