[Fedora-livecd-list] LiveCD Issues

[asmith11 at cox.net]

Hello,

I've been using the LiveCD tools for some time with a good deal of success.  Kudos to all  of the developers that have put together these tools.  

I have run into a few problems recently and was hoping for some guidance.  If anyone can help with these it is much appreciated.

1) Installing to Live Image vs. Installing to System

Is there a good way (or best practice) in my kickstart %post section to determine whether I am installing to a live image vs. installing to a system (or said differently whether the installation is happening via the GUI installer vs. the livecd-creator?  We have certain operations we'd like to perform (format some large partitions, etc.) that don't really make sense for the live image but we would like installed on the real target system as part of a "real" installation.  


2) Redhat Enterprise 5 Problem

We've been able to successfully bundle RHEL5 as a live image.  Things are generally working pretty well.  We have been using LiveCD Tools 008 and 009 up till now.  When we tried to upgrade to LiveCD tools 011 the images we created would no longer boot (in QEMU or via CD/DVD if burned to a disk).  The error we see at boot is the one where it says that "/dev/root" is missing and that we should create the link and then exit the shell.  This has normally been working fine.  Is this a problem with a missing kernel module?  Any ideas on how to fix this?


Thanks,

-Andy
