Though Josh cleared up the issue and these messages weren't related, I
thought I'd cover those too, just in case anyone else is seeing them and
wondering: you'd need to have grub2-efi in your kickstart to make those
go away. The only effect of not having it is that the image generated
will have no UEFI support, it'll work fine in all other respects.

Note that you also need livecd-creator 18.12 to get viable UEFI live
images with the current F18 package set, as some files that earlier
livecd-creator versions looked for were relocated or removed in other
packages .
