I think you were talking to him but I'll respond.

Build system is Fedora 13, both i686 and x86_64 systems, fully updated.  I have not gone out of stock repos except for some multimedia add-ons from RPMFusion.  I'm not dragging anything from Fedora 14 back.  I'm not using updates-testing.

The repos I'm using for the iso build are the same.  Stock Fedora 13 with updates... and a few multimedia packages from RPMFusion.  No Fedora 14 packages and no updates-testing.

I build the remixes every time there is a big set of Fedora 13 updates... so that they are current.  So far for Fedora 13, I've done 47 builds.  They all worked fine... would boot (on KVM where I do my testing) and install... until about 2-3 weeks ago.  I happened to go on vacation and was doing builds remotely but not able to test them. The current livecd-tools (livecd-tools-031-1.fc12) has a build date from Nov. 2009... but I guess some packages have gotten updated that expose bugs in some of the systems/tools that livecd-creator uses.

It appears some fixes are available in some Fedora 14 packages and we are hoping those fixes will flow down to Fedora 13.  As an alternative, it would be nice to know what package updates broke things and perhaps roll those back on my build system and/or the local mirror I have of the package repos that the isos are built from.

Between these two bugs:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=626780
And the anaconda/NetworkManager bug that makes the install from live-iso die in the middle - which I can't find the bugzilla reference for at the moment... 

...the suspect packages include udev, squashfs-tools, NetworkManager, anaconda, and kvm.  Man, this has devolved into a complicated mess. :(

TYL,
