Also, try turning off ccache for the livecd run.

For some reason it appears to be bombing out on your kernel config.
Anyway, we'd probably need you to go back and
check /var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/livecd-stage2-$whatever/var/log/genkernel.log so we can see what actual errors you're getting.  The grep information isn't always the best output.
