Error creating Live CD : Unable to find boot file /var/tmp/imgcreate-u-zw1Q/iso-
WhRlwo/ppc

Can you try editing /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages/imgcreate/live.py around line 738 and swap the arguments to each of the three self.__copy_boot_file() calls?

I found the lines around 715 and have swapped the arguments. Please see below how I have modified them  I have added "#" in front of the original version of the code.

#        self.__copy_boot_file("mapping", isodir + "/ppc")
        self.__copy_boot_file(isodir + "/ppc", "mapping")
#        self.__copy_boot_file("bootinfo.txt", isodir + "/ppc")
        self.__copy_boot_file(isodir + "/ppc", "bootinfo.txt")
#        self.__copy_boot_file("ofboot.b", isodir + "/ppc/mac")
        self.__copy_boot_file(isodir + "/ppc/mac", "ofboot.b")

However, now I am getting the following errors:

TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

Be sure to use spaces rather than tabs when you're copying; your editor might be trying to be smart and replace the spaces that are there with tabs

Ok, I got rid of the strange spacing problems by restoring the original file and editing the lines of code directly instead of copying the line to modify.  Now I see the following errors:

/usr/sbin/setenforce: SELinux is disabled

    self.__write_yaboot_config(isodir, bit)
TypeError: __write_yaboot_config() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)

With some additional fixes from the ppc sig, this should be fixed in git and I'll get a build in before F11 is finalized

Closing out bug that's been in MODIFIED for a while.

This is still an issue as of 07/30/09

- modified the parameters in comment #3

Question - Why on PPC is modifying the .py file necessary?

- disabled SELinux
- removed memtest installation

You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root

It's not fixed in Fedora 10, only in Fedora 11.  Other changes beyond livecd-creator were needed and given that *no one* else had tested during the life of F10 before you did, it's not really important enough to the userbase to fix in an old release that's going to be EOL in a few months
