Hi,
I'm getting a .ISO without a /home despite the filesystem rpm being
installed, and I'd really appreciate any tips on debugging this or
hints as to how this might happen.
This is with the example .ks and I can get livecd-creator to work on a
number of other machines. If I chroot and install the same filesystem
rpm again (--force of course, since it's already installed), I do get
a /home.
I'm running:
$ setarch i586 sudo livecd-creator --skip-compression --cache=../cache
-t /home/mtd/xo-soas/images -c
/usr/share/doc/livecd-tools-024/livecd-fedora-minimal.ks
on a machine like:
# uname -r
Linux benderxxx 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 27 17:27:08
EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and I'm getting a filesystem like:
http://people.sugarlabs.org/~mtd/soas-xo1/livecd.ext3_listing
The output of the livecd-creator command is:
http://people.sugarlabs.org/~mtd/soas-xo1/livecd.buildlog
Any help much appreciated.

Any SELinux errors?
These don't look like SELinux errors but they look like something
security-related:
[...]

These don't look like SELinux errors but they look like something
security-related:
Those messages are far later (and not abnormal, although authconfig
makes them look a little scary). The fact that groups aren't existing
early in the install after the setup package has been installed is the
more concerning part of the log to me. Which has usually only happened
if SELinux is denying things.
So checking for AVCs with ausearch -m avc would be very helfpul

The fact that groups aren't existing early in the install after
the
setup package has been installed is the more concerning part of the
log to me.
The machine in question has an LDAP user database, from what I
understand. I don't know how that might influence the users/groups in
the created filesystem.

Thanks for the tip. I checked during a new build and there're no AVCs
shown by ausearch.

Ahh, that is useful and could be related. Are you also using nscd by
chance? If so, try turning it off

Yes, nscd was being used.
In the end I just gave up and used another machine.
