Pungi doesn't create usable media anymore with F17 + updates

[Jos Vos]

Hi,

When using pungi on a F17 system with all updates applied, it seems
to work fine when I only use the F17 release repo in the config file,
but it creates useless media when I also include the F17 updates repo.

Then, when booting the DVD, it times out after a long time when spawning
the shell on tty2 and after selecting the keyboard it runs into a Python
exception.

Are these known problems and what can I do about it?  My main goal is
to create media to install an up-to-date F17 from (only) DVD.

Otherwise I'll file a bug with all details

Thx,

Does an up to date version of F17 boot on the same machine?

I'm only testing with KVM hosts on CentOS 6.  I can install a non-updated
F17 system and update it, and see what happens, but the problems looks
more like being systemd-related or so, as the startup sequence looks
completely different (OK's right vs. left on the screen etc.).

To answer this qiestion: yes it does work fine to install from the
own-created F17 release DVD and then update manually.

Hi, Jos,

      Can you try excluding xkeyboard-config from the updates repo line, as 
in: "--exclude xkeyboard-config" at the end of all the other excludes? I'm 
unable to use the graphical installer, but I've gotten complaints from 
those who do, using my media. There's also a problem with setting the 
hostname which cropped up later. Haven't figured that one out yet. 
Thirdly, nothing will install. Happily, I added yum to the exclude list in 
the updates repo and fixed that problem. I'd appreciate it if you'd test 
the first suggested fix involving the keyboard since I'm unable to.

           HTH and thanks
