Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] liveinst failing on images made with livecd-creator

["Brian Varney" <bvarney gmail com>]

I'm still having the same problem.  I haven't been able to get liveinst to work on any livecd that I create.  It never finished the  "performing post-installation filesystem changes" step.  Eventually, I'll break out of this and find out what actually got put on the hard drive.  Everything got copied to the "/" partition just fine.  The "/boot" partition only contains a grub directory with "splash.xpm.gz" file in it.  The kernel and initrd are not in there.



The LiveCd uses an ext3 filesystem and I'm choosing an ext3 filesystem in the liveinst.

I've watched top and ps,  and the last thing I see is ext2resize run.  It appears that the problem is something anaconda does after this?

Is there a way to get some debug information out of anaconda?

Are you using non-ext3 filesystem images either for installing to or
from?

No.  Everything is ext3.  From liveinst, I choose "Remove all partitions on selected drives and create default layout", which creates an LVM with an ext3 filesystem.
