[Fedora-livecd-list] My live CD has no boot option in the menu

Can anyone see anything obviously wrong in the attached kickstart?

The live CD appears to build fine (tried both F20 & Rawhide versions
of livecd-creator).

However when booted in qemu:

  qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048 -cdrom livecd-minimal-201405171054.iso -boot d

it only has the "Troubleshooting" menu.  There is no other boot menu,
nor does it autoboot (I waited quite a while), nor is there any
visible indication that it is going to autoboot, eg. no countdown.

Also attached is the isolinux.cfg file extracted from the ISO.

Any ideas here?

Rich.

PS. If you want to try building from the kickstart, you will have to
remove or change the --proxy option from the repo lines.
