[Libguestfs] FC22: virt-p2v-make-kickstart/livecd-creator doesn't build
Hello, I am trying to make a .iso to p2v some old windows servers, and I installed a brand new FC22 server to build my images I run virt-p2v-make-kickstart fedora livecd-creator p2v.ks and I get the following error: Installing: grubby ##################### [435/436] Installing: uboot-tools ##################### [436/436] Installing: b43-fwcutter ##################### [437/436] 947 blocks No '/dev/log' or 'logger' included for syslog logging dracut module 'dmsquash-live' depends on 'img-lib', which can't be installed dracut module 'dmsquash-live' cannot be found or installed. mkinitrd failed warning: %posttrans(kernel-core-4.0.4-301.fc22.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 getsebool: SELinux is disabled success The .iso builds however the boot menu just returns to itself and I never get to the p2v menu. What am I doing incorrectly to build the ISO? Thanks , Marty

I'm building ISOs you can download here: http://oirase.annexia.org/virt-p2v The RHEL-7.2-preview/ directory contains the latest version, and should work fine with virt-v2v from Fedora. These are built in a RHEL 7 VM, using the EPEL 7 version of livecd-tools which seems to work more reliably. I would caution you that you should always run livecd-tools in a disposable VM, since it requires root and does all sorts of weird stuff with host devices.

Yes I am using a disposable VM for this. My issue with the .isos I have been able to find available for download is that they seem to assume that hardware is 64-bit compatible, and a few of my servers sadly are still using 32-bit hardware. I am trying to boot them and thus why I need to make my own livecd. Are there 32-bit compatible images available? Thanks, Marty
