[PATCH] Use yum API instead of exec'ing yum directly
by Jeremy Katz
Attached switches to using the yum API instead of os.system of yum.
Tested with yum-3.1.3-2 which will be in tomorrow's rawhide but should
work fine with other versions[1]
Note that this patch does _not_ apply on top of the pykickstart patch.
I need to sit down and merge the two but wanted to go ahead and get this
out before the weekend.

Latest liveCD tools
by john pleines
With the isolinux patch last Saturday, it took care of something that I
would need for the version of the livecd I was putting together. I then went
back and applied (6) previous patches I had in e-mails then tried to apply
the isolinux patch, patch complains about only able to apply one hunk
successfully. I get the same for the modules patch.
Could someone point me to a location where a patched script exists?
Much appreciated.
Also Jeremy the idea of going to a kickstart config sounds a lot cleaner.
Thanks,

livecd-tools, rawhide and no /dev/root
by Sebastian Vahl
Hi.
Yesterday I've started to create a live-cd with the livecd-tools based
on rawhide. I encountered the same problem with f7test1-live:
no /dev/root:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227734
In vmware and qemu the cd boots fine but show some errors: Both found a
fault with a deprecated device link in 00-cdlabel.rules and
00-livecd.rules:

http://img365.imageshack.us/my.php?image=error1yv0.png
When I saved /etc/udev/rules.d/00-livecd.rules to my fc6 and f7 boxes,
put the cd into the cd-drive and restart udev with "/sbin/udev_start/"
the link /dev/livecd was correctly created.
I've also tried to insert some modules into the initramfs (pata_via,
ata_generic) but this don't help. I've tried two ways:
1. Added them to /usr/bin/livecd-creator:
mayflowerconf.write('MODULES+="cdrom pata_via ata_generic ide-cd ahci
loop dm_snapshot squashfs ext3 ehci_hcd uhci_hcd ohci_hcd usb_storage
sd_mod sr_mod usbhid ata_piix"\n')
2. Extracted the content of livecd-initramfs.img, copied the modules
into the directory lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2947.fc7, recreated the
initramfs and mastered the cd.
But still the only modules loaded before the error are: ehci_hcd and
uhci_hcd.
On my normal rawhide installation an "lsmod | grep ata" shows:
pata_via 15557 7
ata_generic 11973 0
libata 112741 2 pata_via,ata_generic
scsi_mod 140717 4 sr_mod,sg,libata,sd_mod
My question here is: Where is the error? :)
I assume it is in the creation of the initramfs in correlation with
libata (I have no sata). But I don't know a way to create a working one.
Is there a newer version of the livecd-tools? I still use this one:
http://people.redhat.com/davidz/livecd/i386/livecd-tools-001-1.i386.rpm
And livecds based on fc6 works fine.
