F12-Beta Live CD on Parallels

I'm trying to install on a MacBook, using the F12-Beta 64 bit version. It starts the boot, gets past the grub screen, runs through the colored bars than then dies:

No root device found
plymouthd: ply-event-loop.c:729: ply_event_loop_stop_watching_fd: Assertion `watch != ((void *)0) failed.

error: unexpectedly disconnected from boot status daemon
Boot has failed, sleeping forever.


I'm using a iso from the local drive as the boot source.

Has anyone else tried this and gotten it to work?

I'm downloading the livecd now, but that error message is exactly the one I got when I enabled the rawhide repo in F11 and after the updates I rebooted and it did exactly what you show above. Except for the last line about sleeping forever.

I did make a copy of dmesg, you might want to check that out? Just get to a terminal and login and type dmesg, I directed the output to a file and here's the last thing in mine, after some NFS messages that appear to be fine -- in case there's another similarity:

Code:
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
Not sure that'll help or not...

that message has nothing to do with the problem.

The important error here is: "No root device found", which means something ain't right in the state of Den^H^H^HFedora. Either Parallels can't cope with F12, for some reason, or you may have got a bad burn; did you check the checksum of the ISO? If so, try burning again, slower, and if possible onto a different brand of disc.
