[Fedora-livecd-list] error during liveDVD build

[James Heather]

I had some issues of this sort a while back, when including akmods (from
rpmfusion) in a kickstart file. It builds kernel modules on the fly, but
it needs the rpm lock, which it can't get until everything's finished
installing. So it starts after the installation part has finished, but
that causes the umount to fail.

The best solution I found is to put this at the bottom of your kickstart
(I save it as 'sleepy-hack.ks' and include it where necessary). It
checks whether anything still has the installation image open, and
blocks if so.

%post --nochroot
#hack to try to stop umount probs
while (/usr/sbin/lsof /dev/loop* 2>/dev/null | grep -v "$0" 2>/dev/null | grep -q "$INSTALL_ROOT")
do
	sleep 5s
done
%end
