<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Hi Ian, et.al.,<BR>
<BR>
I’ve created a local repo to provide ace-banners (I also switched the CentOS repos in the ‘.ks’ file to use 5.3, added ace-banners to the ‘.ks’ file, added my local repo to the ‘.ks’ file and, just FYI, my host is FC-11). The build from appliance-creator seems to work (snippet of the last part of console output is shown below). But, when I try to run it with virt-image and connect via virt-viewer, all I see is a “grub prompt”. Sorry if this is a newbie question, I’m rather new to playing with redhat and these kinds of build issues. What to do next? Is there some way I can mount this virtual disk and see what is going on in the file system? The snippet below makes it appear as though the grub install actions succeeded.<BR>
