I have been following these instructions: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=501 to put a bunch of utilities (Clonezilla, SystemRescue, CentOS netinstall/rescue, etc.) on a single USB key. It works great for everything (including Ubuntu Live) except the CentOS 6.4 LiveCD. (You can see my postings at the bottom of the forum.) When booting the LiveCD, I got: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 2.6.32-358.el6.i686 #1 After removing "quiet" and adding "selinux=disabled", I got more information; the boot stalls after finding devices, and gives: No root device "block:/dev/mapper/live-rw" found dracut suggests adding "rdshell", which I did. This was not helpful (I had no idea what to do in the dracut shell), but did notice that in the dracut shell /dev/ did NOT seem to contain my USB drive at /dev/sdb as I would expect. (One reason it seemeed not helpful) So: 1) I used VFAT rather than ext2/3/4. Do I have to use ext2/3/4? 2) Do I need to rebuild the initramfs file somewhere in the CentOS LiveCD directory? 3) Is this just a straight-up hardware incompatibility? The computer is a brand-new SuperMicro X10SAE Haswell system.
