There is a bug about this somewhere, and I cannot find it at the
moment.  It was fixed in newer versions of Fedora.

Try running the following command and attach all of the output.  It
will give us much more information about what's going wrong:

  /usr/bin/supermin --build -v -v -v --copy-kernel -f ext2 --host-cpu x86_64 /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d  -o /tmp/appliance.d

Rich.
