Are you sure that space is available on the file system with the /var
directory?

livecd-creator failing on F11
 

Hi Fedorans,

I was trying to build my own 64 bit F12 XFCE LiveCD on my 64 bit F11
machine. I used the kickstarts from spin-kickstarts as my starting
point. All I did was remove some packages and add some of my own.

When I try building it like this is,

This list goes on quite a bit. My disk has plenty of space (50 gigs)
so that's not the problem. Any ideas what this could be?

TIA

Apologies, my earlier reply didn't go to the list. :(

I am almost 100% sure about that,

Could I still be having disk space problems given the above information?
I am running the livecd-creator in my home, does that make any
difference? Although that shouldn't pose a problem as you can see above,
I have over hundred gigs of free space in my /home.

As I suggested in the private reply, the disk space in the file systems
looks good, but you might be running out of space on the image. You may
need to include a part command in the kickstart that reserves a larger size.

Thank you Bruno, my email client seems to be acting a bit weird. Hence
all the confusion.

I have received your private reply, and have edited the kickstart file
to reserve 3.5 gigs. It starts building but fails during the post
installation scripts with this error,

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/var/tmp/imgcreate-DBVzFU/install_root/boot/initrd-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64.img'

I suspect my increased size in the part command wasn't enough. I think
I'll give up on the idea of having OOo on the live image, and try again.
with a smaller set of packages. I 'll post back if I run into problems.

That may be related to the switch from mkinitrd to dracut. I have been
able to build live images on f12, but haven't for a few weeks. (I mostly
do this in rawhide now.) So that may not be the answer, but you might want
to check. Are you doing the image build on f11 and not f12?

Yes I'm doing this on F11.

I also found something which could be an alternate explanation. When I
look in /var/tmp/, I see the folder mentioned above doesn't
exist. Instead there is another folder of a similar name,
/var/tmp/imgcreate-yvpmqw. I have a hunch this could be a leftover
from the first time the build failed.

On doing `mount -l' I see that the install_root under that is still
mounted. Trying to umount complains the device is busy. I could try to
reboot and build again ... :-

I will post back whether I succeed after a reboot.

In general building images for a different version of Fedora isn't going to
work unless you use mock. I haven't done that yet and am not able to give
you exact instructions, but that's probably where you need to go if you
want to do cross version builds of live images.

I will try to find more about how to use mock here. Thanks for all the
help so far. :)

I couldn't figure out how to use mock to build the Live image. All the
documentation I could find seemed related to building srpms. I had a
minimal F12 VM lying around, increased the partition size on that and
built the live image without problems.

Time to test the radeon drivers on my RV770 tomorrow. ;)
