Description Thomas J. Baker 2009-04-17 14:34:23 UTC 
I've had success building i386 live cds using livecd-tools on a i386 machine. I'm now trying to build a ppc live cd using the same kickstart file (modified to point to ppc repos) on he same machine and it's failing saying it can't find the kernel package:

Error creating Live CD : Failed to find package 'kernel' : No package(s) available to install

Is this supposed to work? Am I overlooking something? I know the kernel package is part of the repo. I admit to being unfamiliar with ppc machines so I don't know if there's some other package that I should include.

You're building the ppc live image on an i386 machine?  That can't work -- we have to install the packages, including running all the scriptlets, etc and so you have to be on a compatible arch

OK, thanks.
