The resulting iso booted properly on VirtualBox. In a completely separate experiment, I was able to use pungi (rebuilt from the Fedora 20 SRPM) to generate an installation disk. The only issue I ran into in that experiment was that I needed to first build and install a custom kernel with HFS+ support, because the Fedora 20 version of pungi apparently needs HFS+ to create the EFI boot mechanism on the DVD. >>> Can you confirm whether this is the procedure used by the >>> official CentOS build scripts? > > No, I don't think so, as one has to buid the vmlinuz/initrd.img and > other bits before being able to respin such variant .. but that's not > what you asked for iirc :-) Ok - understood. If at some point in the future the official build tools can be made available (read-only of course), I'd still be interested in seeing them, and in helping to document them, but for now, I have a path to build what I need.
