centos6 and boxgrinder 0.9.8 not work

[gigimon]

Hello

Support for centos 6 in boxgrinder 0.9.8 is not work

I'm attach all logs with --debug and --trace in files.

My config:

name: centos-6.0-scalr
os:
  name: centos
  version: 6
  password: scalarizr123

hardware:
  partitions:
    "/":
      size: 9.5
      type: ext3

files:
  "/etc/rc.d":
    - "rc.local"

post:
  ec2:
    - "/bin/sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin no/PermitRootLogin yes/g'  /etc/ssh/sshd_config"
    - "/usr/sbin/userdel ec2-user"
    - "rm -rf /home/ec2-user"
    - "rm -f /root/.ssh/authorized_keys"

With ext4 for root partitions the same error

Oleg,

You need update appliance-tools to version 006 or newer.

• F15: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-15966
• F16: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-15799

I forgot to make expllicit dependency on the appliance-tools in spec file, but will fix it in new version once this one will land in stable.

The error message provide in first log states that you're clearly using an old version of appliance-tools. The 2nd log unfortunately tells me nothing - please provide a debug log after you run the build with updated appliance-tools, thanks!

P.S. We have successful integration test builds for CentOS 6: http://ci.boxgrinder.org/viewLog.html?buildId=2921&buildTypeId=bt17&tab=testsInfo

This full log:

OK, found the issue, this is because appliance-creator is trying to find the grub files in /usr/share/grub/i386-{reshat,unknown}, but the files are in /usr/share/grub/i386-pc for 32 arch, and /usr/share/grub/x864_64-unknown for 64 bit arch. Therefore building 64 bit images works fine for CentOS 6.

I'll post a temporary patch for you soon and fix it in appliance-tools.

Thanks!

Please take a look at this patch:

You can change the file manually by editing line 266 in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/appcreate/appliance.py.

Then re-run hte build and let me know if it worked - I'll pushe the changes upstream.

Thanks!
