Hello,
I'm trying to follow the guide at
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_build_a_LiveCD_with_Catalyst_for_newbies , I
created snapshot, downloaded stage3, edited spec file  and run:
catalyst -v -f livecd-stage1_template.spec

it was compiling stuff and exited ok

There's your first problem.

What are you expecting?

Yes, you're missing knowledge of what livecd-stage1 actually does. livecd-stage1 
is nothing but "part 1" of the livecd creation process. It doesn't actually 
create anything. You need to complete a livecd-stage2 build to actually get an 
ISO output.

I wrote that guide, there's no problem there.

The things built in the livecdstage1 are in the tmp folder. You're fine.

Hi,thanks both of you. I will read more docs and try tomorrow again.

Right after "The final livecd-stage2"
you write
You $storedir/builds folder should now be populated with the livecd-stage1
you just built,

And I find this a bit confusing.

Ok, thanks.

  Lol, sorry I missed that. Errors like this happen everywhere. But I find it nice that the only problem you got was that you didn't find your successful build ;).

OK, I was reading official docs yesterday and it seems there is only
reference guide, but no high level view on how things works together. So
first, thanks for the newbie guide. Is there any documentation about what
exactly is catalyst trying to do at any specific moment?

Anyway:

At livecd-stage2_template.spec you refer to livecd1:

source_subpath:default/livecd-stage1_example-2007.1

and form reference guide:
source_subarch: "Location of seed stage, path relative to
${clst_sharedir}/builds"

and I actually found it at:

/var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/default/

So after I change stage2 config I got error with genkernel:

* Linux Kernel 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 for x86...
* kernel: >> Running mrproper...

I have sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.8. Tyring to find System-map* anywhere on
the disk is unsuccessful. Any hints?

Thank you

Robert

A more "high level" guide for catalyst will come later as we "stabilize" the 
inner workings of catalyst-2.x and get the reference guide finished.

Well, catalyst actually looks in two places. It will first look under 
/var/tmp/catalyst/tmp/${source_subpath} and try to rsync the contents. If that's 
not found, it will look for /var/tmp/portage/builds/${source_subpath}.tar.bz2 
and try to untar that.

In the case of livecd-stage1->livecd-stage2, there is no .tar.bz2 file, but 
there will be stuff in the first location from the livecd-stage1 build.

You need to stabilize a newer genkernel (3.4.9_preX is fine) in your snapshot. 
This is a bug in genkernel-3.4.8.

I was referring to gentoo-wiki in general. However, when I last looked at that 
article on the wiki, there were quite a few "inaccuracies". I fixed a bunch of 
them at the time, but I haven't looked at it since, and I don't recall what they 
were.

Actually, I take that back. It was the "HOWTO build a LiveCD with Catalyst" 
article I was thinking about. I've never looked at your entry. I apologize.

Thanks for all that. Unmasking genkernel has fixed that issue and now I have
working iso image.

I still have some questions (like how to do my own stage3), but I'll dig
through archives and play with catalyst for now.

It is fantastic tool, guys you rock!

The reference guide is for catalyst 1.x and was never updated for
catalyst 2.x, don't use it.

You take a stage3 tarball as a seed, then build stages 1, 2, then 3, in
order.  One thing to realize is the stages are not very customizable, so
if you're not compiling for a specific architecture/subarch, the only
way to really customize a stage is by modifying the profile which it
uses.  If you want completely customizable stages, you want a stage4.
