I haven't seen that, but I probably haven't done exactly what you do.

I don't know what the problem is or how to solve it, but I can tell 
which stupid questions I came up with when I tried to see _if_ I could 
figure out what was going on.


Do you see the hang with a 100% plain F11 build with a ks from 
spin-kickstarts? Without updates?

You attached some ks files. Which change from the standard made a 
difference?

Exactly how do you run livecd-iso-to-disk? Which overlays do you create? 
Are they blank when you start?

You log in as liveuser (without password) and expect to get the gdm 
login prompt again after log out (i.e. you are not shutting down)?

Is ctrl-alt-f2 working? Is caps lock toggling as usual?

Are any liveuser processes hanging? What happens if you kill them (or 
just the X server)?
