Mike,
Ran into a problem at make ovirt-node-image.iso:
)
./node-creator ovirt-node-image.ks
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/livecd-creator", line 210, in <module>
sys.exit(main())
File "/usr/bin/livecd-creator", line 167, in main
ks = imgcreate.read_kickstart(options.kscfg)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imgcreate/kickstart.py", line 61, in read_kickstart
e.args[0]))
imgcreate.errors.KickstartError: Failed to read kickstart file '/mnt/storage/home/lid/ovirt-cache/node-creator-x86_64-tmp/ovirt-node-image.ks' : Local file does not exist: /mnt/storage/home/lid/ovirt-cache/node-creator-x86_64-tmp/ovirt-node-image.ks
mv ovirt-node-image.iso ovirt-node-image-2.2.3-0.1.fc16.gitd7dbc01.iso
mv: cannot stat `ovirt-node-image.iso': No such file or directory
make: *** [ovirt-node-image.iso] Error 1
I checked but the file is there:
[lid at fc16-lid recipe]$ ls -al /mnt/storage/home/lid/ovirt-cache/node-creator-x86_64-tmp/ovirt-node-image.ks
-rw-r--r--. 1 lid Engineering 29910 Feb 13 09:13 /mnt/storage/home/lid/ovirt-cache/node-creator-x86_64-tmp/ovirt-node-image.ks
Any clue?
- David
