Description Adam Williamson 2019-01-05 00:10:46 UTC 
The Fedora-Rawhide-20190104.n.0 compose failed due to failed live image composes. It seems that all live image composes failed with this anaconda traceback:

blivet has not changed, so I'm guessing the new anaconda is to blame here. Likely some kind of live image special case that's been forgotten in the changes, or something...

This is an automatic Beta blocker, per "Bugs which entirely prevent the composition of one or more of the release-blocking images required to be built for a currently-pending (pre-)release" - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process#Automatic_blockers

I've untagged anaconda-30.15-1.fc30 and anaconda-30.14-1.fc30 for now until this can get sorted out.
Comment 2 Martin Kolman 2019-01-07 11:14:42 UTC 
We usually see this error when there is an initrd & stage2 mismatch - stage 2 contains kernel modules, but for a different kernel version than what was started for the initrd. So the modules, such as the one used for XFS, are not available once stage2 needs them and Anaconda crashes. IIRC jkonecny is looking into way how to detect this mismatch and properly report it when it happens.

Are you using the lorax "virt" option when building the live iso ? Then it could be the boot iso you are using does not match the repository used to build the live image (IIRC the Anaconda initrd will prefer stage2 from the repo if available).
Comment 3 Vendula Poncova 2019-01-07 16:01:23 UTC 
It is the Anaconda issue after all. Fixed in a pull request: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/1754
Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2019-02-11 17:21:15 UTC 
We've had live images in composes since 30.16, so this was clearly fixed. Thanks.
