Hi,
I'm getting a .ISO without a /home despite the filesystem rpm being installed, and I'd really appreciate any tips on debugging this or hints as to how this might happen.
This is with the example .ks and I can get livecd-creator to work on a number of other machines. If I chroot and install the same filesystem rpm again (--force of course, since it's already installed), I do get a /home.
I'm running:
$ setarch i586 sudo livecd-creator --skip-compression --cache=../cache -t /home/mtd/xo-soas/images -c /usr/share/doc/livecd-tools-024/livecd-fedora-minimal.ks
on a machine like:
# uname -r Linux benderxxx 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 27 17:27:08 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and I'm getting a filesystem like:
http://people.sugarlabs.org/~mtd/soas-xo1/livecd.ext3_listing
The output of the livecd-creator command is: http://people.sugarlabs.org/~mtd/soas-xo1/livecd.buildlog
Any help much appreciated.

Any SELinux errors?
These don't look like SELinux errors but they look like something security-related:
[...] Installing: cronie ##################### [353/353] authconfig: Authentication module /lib/security/pam_fprintd.so is missing.

These don't look like SELinux errors but they look like something security-related:
Those messages are far later (and not abnormal, although authconfig makes them look a little scary). The fact that groups aren't existing early in the install after the setup package has been installed is the more concerning part of the log to me. Which has usually only happened if SELinux is denying things.
So checking for AVCs with ausearch -m avc would be very helfpul

The machine in question has an LDAP user database, from what I understand. I don't know how that might influence the users/groups in the created filesystem.

Thanks for the tip. I checked during a new build and there're no AVCs shown by ausearch.

Ahh, that is useful and could be related. Are you also using nscd by chance? If so, try turning it off

Yes, nscd was being used.
In the end I just gave up and used another machine.
