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

[Barrow H Kwan]

I have verified that the raw image created by appliance-creator is not 
working.  When I load the image with virt-image, I got

GRUB Loading stage1.5.
GRUB loading, please wait...
Error 2

Again, I was trying to create CentOS 5 image from FC10 ( since thincrust 
has no support on CentOS/RHEL yet ).

here is my ks file

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



anyone have that working?  I have tried to build the image then use the 
thincrust tool to convert the raw image to VMware vmdk file.  When I load 
the image in VMware, it stuck on GRUB with Failed 2.  I am not sure if it 
is the image conversation to vmdk has problem or the image already has 
problem when appliance-creator create it. 

any help will be appreciated
