Im trying to create a FC3 kickstart DVD in FC6, yet, when I attempt to

the console i get a few errors...

<3>FAT: Bogus number of reserved sectors
<6>VFS: Cant find a valid FAT filesystem on dev hdc
<4>VFS: Cant find ext2 filesystem on dev hdc.
<4>Unable to load NLS charset utf8

I am attempting to boot this on a virtual machine. The only thing I  can
think is, since im using FC6, I have to use 'createrepo' instead of
'genhdlist'... Will that create this error?  This is exactly how i
create the cd image.

The fact that you are building the CD on FC6 is irrelevant, to do an

I don't think so, the CD/DVD image has to be built with the correct version of Anaconda, and that may require the FC3 level Python etc etc/




install the FC3 version of anaconda is still going to require the information that genhdlist gives you, which means you need to install and run genhdlist.

sudo cp nepenthes-ks.cfg FC3/isolinux/

cd FC3
sudo createrepo -g Fedora/base/comps.xml `pwd`
cd ..
sudo mkisofs -o nepenthes-ossim.iso -V 'FC/3 i386' -b
isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -r -R -T -J -joliet-long -l FC3


Can anyone see anything that I could be doing wrong?


Well, you don't indicate what else you are putting on the CD, but you could get this error if you left out the .discinfo file.
