Yup.  That's exactly what happened.  I just now reproduced the steps I
took a couple months ago.  I also built mine on a 64 bit f14 system -
here is a sample of what it went out and grabbed.

Looks like it grabs repo stuff from the kernel you're using instead of
specifically looking for 32 bits.  If not possible to always grab 32 bit
packages, would it possible to put in a warning if running
virt-p2v-image-builder on a 64 bit system?

I've run into this as well with a virt-p2v cd built on 64 bit Fedora 14.
I
made a 32 bit Fedora 14 guest and created the virt-p2v cd from it and
was
able to boot without any issues on the 32 bit system I was attempting to
convert.

That's strange because virt-p2v-image-builder is supposed to
only build 32 bit images ...

Please keep the replies on the list.
