Subject: FATAL: Don't know how to handle 'root=live

Hi Everyone,
I am attempting to boot from USB using syslinux/isolinux with a
squashfs image as my root filesystem.
My kernel command line like looks like:
linux /LiveOS/vmlinuz.x86_64 root=live:CDLABEL=Physix-Project rd.live.image
APPEND initrd=/LiveOS/initramfs-img.x86_64
At boot, the system halts soon after the following message.
dracut: FATAL: Don't know how to handle 'root=live:Physix-Project
I got the impression from dracut docs that I needed dmsquash-live and
livenet module included in the initramfs, but when I define them in my
/etc/dracut.conf and run make install on the kernel tree I get the
following messages:
`dracut: dracut module 'livenet' depends on 'dmsquash-live', which can't
be installed
dracut: dracut module 'dmsquash-live' cannot be found or installed.`
Question 1: Will including these 2 modules solve the "FATAL: Don't know
how to handle 'root=...." issue?
Question 2: If so, how do I get these modules installed (on
Debian/Fedora) so I can build the initramfs?
best regards,
Tree
