Comment 1 Brian Lane 2016-03-17 16:59:37 UTC 
Yeah, that's pretty hard to tell what happened. Looks like it blew up in rpm though. There's also this:

Skipping missing group 'core'

which may mean there is something wrong with the comps file in your repo.

If you could reproduce this with a minimal kickstart that you can share it would be helpful.

Alternatively the recommended way to create live images (iso, disk images, etc.) on RHEL7 is to use livemedia-creator from the lorax package.

Comment 2 Jozef Mlich 2016-03-17 17:24:08 UTC 
I was not using comps file during that test at all. The livemedia-creator seems to fit my needs better than livecd-creator.
