User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060103 Fedora/1.5-4 Firefox/1.5

Description of problem:
I'm getting a partitioning error running the kadischi liveCD generator. This does not happen under FC4.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow basic instructions for kasdischi LiveCD generation. There are special steps for FC5T2, see list or ask.
2. Run kadischi per examples.
3. Get error message.

Actual Results: Anaconda hangs with message :

In interactive step parttype, can't continue

Expected Results: New iso image.

Additional info:

Here is a sample command :

# kadischi /media/disk/fc5 /tmp/fc5t2.iso --kickstart=/usr/local/share/kadischi/ks_examples/minimal-livecd.cfg -C

Hi. I'm working closely with Kadischi also at the moment and this issue
was fixed in Anaconda 10.91.14-1. Just an FYI.

Thanks Jasper. The list requested I create this bugreport. AFAIK, kickstart
still doesn't work in kadischi, and it's still shown as "broken" in the
development status. Not sure if that's an anaconda issue or not. Without
kickstart in kadischi I can't use FC5.
