[Thincrust-devel] applicance-creator on FC10 to create CentOS 5 image

[Barrow H Kwan]

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

Re: [Thincrust-devel] applicance-creator on FC10 to create CentOS 5 image



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?...
