Any resources or fixes that anyone can share? Thank you in advance.
It looks like you are using livemedia-creator, which is different from
livecd-creator so this list may not be the best place for help. I read
it but not regularly. Upstream is on github at
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/ or the
bugzilla.redhat.com bug tracker,
component is lorax.
When things fail like this the debugging steps usually involve:
Read the *.log files generated by lmc, as well as the anaconda logfiles
which may be in /tmp or in ./anaconda depending on how badly things
failed.
Check for enough memory. Depending on the number of packages you install
memory usage can be pretty large. I run my VMs with at least 4G of RAM.
Signal 9 is KILL so something killed the anaconda run. Check the logs on
the host and see if they reveal anything.
Also look at disk space. Image creation can take up quite a bit of space
for the intermediate filesystems before it compresses it all for the
final iso.
I can also be found on the freenode IRC servers in the #weldr channel.
