kvm.ks is a trivial config:
repo --name=base --baseurl=http://XXXX/centos/7/os/$basearch/
repo --name=updates --baseurl=http://XXXX/centos/7/updates/$basearch/
%packages
kernel
perl
@core
@base
@^virtualization-host-environment
%end

The CentOS repo is just local mirror of the official one.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pungi-4.0.14-3.fc24.noarch
lorax-24.18-1.fc24.x86_64

Comment 1 Brian Lane 2016-06-02 17:30:15 UTC
Looks like modinfo is provided by kmod, and since this is running on the host, not the installtree, lorax.spec needs to add a Requires on it.

Comment 2 Brian Lane 2016-06-02 17:33:27 UTC
https://github.com/rhinstaller/lorax/pull/128

Comment 3 Robin Lee 2016-06-03 01:28:29 UTC
kmod is installed. If this is running on the host, the path /builddir/work/x86_64/installtree/lib/modules/3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/ahci/ahci.ko becomes a broken symlink:

# file  /builddir/work/x86_64/installtree/lib/modules/3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/ahci/ahci.ko
/builddir/work/x86_64/installtree/lib/modules/3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/ahci/ahci.ko: broken symbolic link to /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64/extra/ahci/ahci.ko

So modinfo running on this will fail.

Comment 4 Brian Lane 2016-06-03 17:45:15 UTC
I think there's a couple problems here. First is that the Fedora 24 version of lorax and pungi aren't designed to be used with RHEL7. So even if you get this working you're likely to run into a series of issues. AFAIK there is no pungi for RHEL7, but there is lorax for creating boot.isos.

Second, that symlink, AFAIK, isn't part of the normal distribution. You are correct that an incorrect symlink there will break things, but I don't think it's supposed to be there at all.
