These are just deprecation warnings -- for now, the rules work, they
just spew a warning. Bill sent a patch last week-ish to fix them up.
My question here is: Where is the error? :)
I assume it is in the creation of the initramfs in correlation with
libata (I have no sata). But I don't know a way to create a working one.
This is highly probable. And with the test1 live CD, only some of the
pata bits worked due to a combination of spaces not being in the right
place and some kernel wonkiness.
Is there a newer version of the livecd-tools? I still use this one:
http://people.redhat.com/davidz/livecd/i386/livecd-tools-001-1.i386.rpm
And livecds based on fc6 works fine.
I've got a set of changes which works for the little bit of pata
hardware that I was able to find relatively quickly around the office.
The patches and config packages that I used for the test2 live CD are at
http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/live/f7test2/. And there's a README at
http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/live/f7test2/README along the same lines
as the one davidz posted with the FC6 live CD.
It's at least worth checking to see if that solves things for you before
going any further on trying to track things down.
