All, I am trying to make a custom install CD for CentOS 5.2. I am building the iso in a VirtualBox image and testing the iso in another VirtualBox image so I don't keep wasting CD's. I have gotten to where all the package dependencies are met and now I get the following error on boot:
An error occurred unmounting the CD. Please make sure you're not accessing /mnt/source from the shell on tty2 and then click OK to retry
This scrolls rapidly up the screen (doing text install) and there is no "OK" button. I have seen that there is a bug about this dated 2006 at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206352
But that was closed in November 2007 so it SHOULD be fixed in the iso I am trying.
I also read in a forum that the CD "drive was going into some sort of "sleep" mode which the install couldn't overcome." The solution for this person was to <Ctrl> <Alt> <F2> and in the new session do an ls on /mnt/sort every few seconds. Since this needs to be as unattended an install as possible, that wouldn't work even if I could get to the second console.
Any ideas?
Thanks, John

Why are you rebuilding the installer ? why not just use the CentOS installer and use your own package tree in another repo.
