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

[Greg Buzzard]

Hi Ian, et.al.,

I¹ve created a local repo to provide ace-banners (I also switched the CentOS
repos in the Œ.ks¹ file to use 5.3, added ace-banners to the Œ.ks¹ file,
added my local repo to the Œ.ks¹ 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 ³grub prompt².  Sorry if this is
a newbie question, I¹m 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 ³appliance-creator²...

Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
