I got it fixed, there is a bug in the code. On line 64 of /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/appcreate/partitionedfs.py a check begins to ensure that the previous command executed. Line 65 has a syntax error and the exception will (almost) always be raised because parted will have a return code of 1, even when it works. I fixed it by commenting out lines 64 and 65. Please fix this. -Thomas Hatch <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 2:46 PM, Thomas S Hatch <<a href="mailto:thatch45@gmail.com">thatch45@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I am having an issue with appliance-creator and fedora 12. when I attempt to make any appliance it spits out a python error: # appliance-creator -n test --config /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/fedora-aos.ks -o /srv/test/ Warning: The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/loop1 (Invalid argument).
