OK, I was reading official docs yesterday and it seems there is only reference guide, but no high level view on how things works together. So first, thanks for the newbie guide. Is there any documentation about what exactly is catalyst trying to do at any specific moment?

A more "high level" guide for catalyst will come later as we "stabilize" the inner workings of catalyst-2.x and get the reference guide finished.

Anyway:

At livecd-stage2_template.spec you refer to livecd1:

source_subpath:default/livecd-stage1_example-2007.1

and form reference guide:
source_subarch: "Location of seed stage, path relative to ${clst_sharedir}/builds"

and I actually found it at:

/var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/

Well, catalyst actually looks in two places. It will first look under /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/${source_subpath} and try to rsync the contents. If that's not found, it will look for /var/tmp/portage/builds/${source_subpath}.tar.bz2 and try to untar that.

In the case of livecd-stage1->livecd-stage2, there is no .tar.bz2 file, but there will be stuff in the first location from the livecd-stage1 build.

* ERROR: Could not copy System.map for the kernel package!

You need to stabilize a newer genkernel (3.4.9_preX is fine) in your snapshot. This is a bug in genkernel-3.4.8.
