Hi
I have a huge problem building a RHEL6 LiveCD/DVD.
This happend on two different virtual machines I used to build a LiveCD, thats
why I'm writing to this list.
Setup: Clean RHEL6.2 Install, >30GB free space available.
Aim: RHEL6 LiveCD with some extra packages.
After a few successfull builds (3 - 4, sometimes after 1) livecd-creator stops
working.
If I try to build a LiveCD I always get the following error:
Error creating Live CD : fsck after resize returned an error! image to debug
at /tmp/resize-image-ZJgv1q
I try to build the LiveCD with the following line:
livecd-creator -c fedora-livecd-desktop.ks -f rhel6-live -t
/var/tmp/rhel6-live/ --cache /var/cache/rhel6-live/ -d -v
--logfile=/root/spin-kickstarts-kundrak/rhel6-live.log
I run the commandline within a simple shellscript which exports LANG=C prior to
starting livecd-creator as I read on an old post on this list, that this could
be an issue.
Because it drove me nuts, I (manually) logged the configuration (added
packages, changed settings) of my runs on the second machine. I thought this
would be a good idea because then I'm able to revert my steps and always have a
working base-configuration. But even when I'm reverting my last step after it
stopped working, it still doesn't work and breaks with the same error.
Between the runs, I cleaned the cache & tmp dir and even did reboots. But still
no luck.
It can't be the repo configuration or other stuff like the part size etc.,
because when it runs without an error, I cant boot the livecd and all extra
packages I included are available.
Why is it sometimes working and why not?
Do you have any suggestions? I really appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Alex
Here is the error from livecd-creator:
