same issue here ( with CentOS 5.2 ). Ian, do you have a patched version of thincrust? From what Bryan Kearney said, there is a patch for CentOS/RedHat. thanks Barrow <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td>From: <td>Greg Buzzard <gbuzzard@venturiwireless.com> <tr valign=top> <td>To: <td><thincrust-devel@redhat.com> <tr valign=top> <td>Date: <td>06/26/2009 04:29 PM <tr valign=top> <td>Subject: <td>Re: [Thincrust-devel] applicance-creator on FC10 to create CentOS 5 image</table> <hr noshade> Hi Ian, et.al., 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. ...last part of output from “appliance-creator”...
