Re: [gentoo-catalyst] making of a catalyst livecd

[Mike Rosset]

ok, I'm thinking either one of two things, if you have kernel-dependent
packages that need to be added to
boot/kernel/{kernel}/packages in your stage2 spec file ... add them. if they
are in there and you are using kerncache turn kerncache off and give it a
pass.
