"-generic" in initrd name confusing live.py?

[Martin Dengler]

Hi,

I'm getting a puzzling problem when building a .ks file that worked
two days ago:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/livecd-creator", line 140, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/bin/livecd-creator", line 124, in main
    creator.configure()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/imgcreate/creator.py", line  732, in configure
    self._create_bootconfig()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/imgcreate/live.py", line 197,  in _create_bootconfig
    self._configure_bootloader(self.__ensure_isodir())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/imgcreate/live.py", line 609,  in _configure_bootloader
    self._configure_syslinux_bootloader(isodir)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/imgcreate/live.py", line 513,  in _configure_syslinux_bootloader
    cfg += self.__get_image_stanzas(isodir)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/imgcreate/live.py", line 440,  in __get_image_stanzas
    is_xen = self.__copy_kernel_and_initramfs(isodir, version, index)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/imgcreate/live.py", line 367,  in __copy_kernel_and_initramfs
    isodir + "/isolinux/initrd" + index + ".img")
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/shutil.py", line 52, in copyfile
    fsrc = open(src, 'rb')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
  '/var/tmp/imgcreate-X4oN18/install_root/boot/initrd-2.6.31-0.204.rc9.fc12.i686.img'

I added some code to live.py to show what was actually in the source
and dest directories, and it seems that the initrd has grown a string
"-generic" in its name that live.py doesn't expect:

---
        src, dest = (bootdir + "/initrd-" + version + ".img",
                     isodir + "/isolinux/initrd" + index + ".img")
        logging.warn("__copy_kernel_and_initramfs: copying %s to %s" %
                     (src, dest))
        logging.warn("src contents: %s" %
                     os.listdir(os.path.dirname(src)))
        logging.warn("dest contents: %s" %
                     os.listdir(os.path.dirname(dest)))
        shutil.copyfile(bootdir + "/initrd-" + version + ".img",
                        isodir + "/isolinux/initrd" + index + ".img")
---

yielding:

---
__copy_kernel_and_initramfs: trying to copy
/var/tmp/imgcreate-X4oN18/install_root/boot/initrd-2.6.31-0.204.rc9.fc12.i686.img

dest contents: ['vmlinuz0', 'isolinux.bin', 'vesamenu.c32',

---

Anybody have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Martin

That seems to be caused changes made in rawhide because of 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Dracut

We will have to wait until the design and implementation are completed 
and livecd-tools in F11 has been updated accordingly - if that is going 
to happen.

Thanks for the explanation.

For now I have done:

initrd-generic is now gone.  "initramfs" is now the permanent name.  I'm 
updating livecd in git for this.
