Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] liveinst failing on images made with livecd-creator
I'm still having the same problem. I haven't been able to get liveinst to
work on any livecd that I create. It never finished the "performing
post-installation filesystem changes" step. Eventually, I'll break out of
this and find out what actually got put on the hard drive. Everything got
copied to the "/" partition just fine. The "/boot" partition only
contains
a grub directory with "splash.xpm.gz" file in it. The kernel and initrd are
not in there.
The LiveCd uses an ext3 filesystem and I'm choosing an ext3 filesystem in
the liveinst.
I've watched top and ps, and the last thing I see is ext2resize run. It
appears that the problem is something anaconda does after this?
Is there a way to get some debug information out of anaconda?

No. Everything is ext3. From liveinst, I choose "Remove all partitions
on selected drives and create default layout", which creates an LVM with an
ext3 filesystem.
