<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica">Hi olpc-SoCal folks,</p>
<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica;min-height:14.0px"><br></p>
<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica">I have spent 2 days trying to make a bootable Live CD of SoaS for distribution at our booth at SCaLE 10X on Saturday. I have had lots of problems. Supposedly this can be done on both PCs and Macs. Do any of you have any experience with this sort of thing?</p>
<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica;min-height:14.0px"><br></p>
<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica">I have used the instructions on the Sugar Labs Wiki and even called Apple. They walked me through the process on Lion (OS 10.7.2) and things seemed to go well until I tried to boot it on my Mac. I got this message:</p>
<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica;min-height:14.0px"><br></p>
<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica">No root device found</p>
<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica">Boot has failed</p>
<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica">Sleeping forever</p><p style="font:12.0px Helvetica"><br></p><p style="font:12.0px Helvetica">I googled this error message and the problem seems to be very common with Fedora live CDs and live usbs. There doesn't seem to be a definitive answer.</p>
<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica;min-height:14.0px"><br></p>
<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica">We need this for our booth Saturday! I have 100 blank CDs and sleeves arriving tomorrow and a disk burner to make the copies, but without a master we are "dead in the water."</p>
<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica;min-height:14.0px"><br></p>
<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica">Here is a link to the instructions:</p>

<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica;min-height:14.0px"><br></p>
<p style="font:12.0px Helvetica">Scroll down and you will find all the builds listed under "Introduction to Sugar an a Stick."</p><p style="font:12.0px Helvetica"><br></p><p style="font:12.0px Helvetica">I was hoping that SoaS was finally ready to introduce to the general public via "Taste of Sugar" Live CDs that would work on both PCs and Intel Macs. Of course, I have been hoping for this since Blueberry. Any ideas? Any solutions? I have tried the Sugar Labs irc discussions and they gave me some suggestions, but so far, no luck!</p><p style="font:12.0px Helvetica"><br></p><p style="font:12.0px Helvetica">Caryl</p> </div></div> </div></body>
