"<pwhalen> satellit, seeing the same issue. it looks like the initramfs is host-only for some reason. Looking at the kickstart I think I see why. <pwhalen> we remove dracut-config-generic in post, but it looks like we also rebuild the initramfs for sugar as well..seems like the rebuild happens after we remove dracut-config-generic.. so host only :(
<pwhalen> satellit, broken in rawhide as well - 15M May 14 15:59 initramfs-5.1.0-1.fc31.armv7hl.img <pwhalen> should be around 40-50M" "<pwhalen> satellit, if you replace the initramfs with this one - https://fedorapeople.org/~pwhalen/soas/initramfs-5.0.9-301.fc30.armv7hl.img <pwhalen> it will boot. Thanks for bringing this to our attention."
- may 15:
<pwhalen> satellit, mount the sd, the look for the partition labelled boot
<pwhalen> might be easiest to then right click and open in terminal, then 'su -c "wget https://fedorapeople.org/~pwhalen/soas/initramfs-5.0.9-301.fc30.armv7hl.img"' <pwhalen> then 'sudo mv initramfs-5.0.9-301.fc30.armv7hl.img.1 initramfs-5.0.9-301.fc30.armv7hl.img' <pwhalen> should od it <pwhalen> or do it even <pwhalen> and we'll get it fixed for f31.

livedcd-tools installed in mounted soas f30 usb
SoaS 30 does come with the livecd-tools installed and the livecd-iso-to-disk installation script is copied to the /LiveOS/ directory on the .iso filesystem (so it is available from a mounted .iso file at <mountpoint>/LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk). The wiki instructions have been updated.
Installation via dd does not provide persistence of file system changes between boots (and never did). Persistence requires installation using the livecd-iso-to-disk installation script and requesting an overlay.
See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LiveOS_image for a discussion of the USB flash disk usage limitations and the different file systems available to the LiveOS user.
The dracut produced initial ram filesystem offers a large variety of storage configurations, see https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/blob/master/dracut.cmdline.7.asc#booting-live-images. One new configuration with OverlayFS will allow the overlay to consume the whole USB flash drive file system if the USB flash drive file system is formatted with ext4 or xfs file system types. The OverlayFS configuration is less mature than the Device-mapper configuration, so experimental feedback is welcome.

mock
you should always do all work in mock, this will allow you to esure that the compose environment matches the target environment
to setup a Fedora 25 x86_64 environment you would run the following
$ mock -r fedora-25-x86_64 --init $ mock -r fedora-25-x86_64 --install lorax-lmc-novirt git vim-minimal pykickstart
if you wanted a different arch or release you would use the correct mock configuration file

- You must be in the same fedora version (f25) first. This is so that packages can be installed to livecd without SELinux errors and is relabeled at boot time.

"In --no-virt mode it's calling anaconda directly so kickstart processing of the %include may work, depending on the location of the files. But if you're using it in virt mode only the top level ks gets passed into the vm so ksflatten is required in that case."

- There is a problem using LMC this way:
<adamw> satellit: you really *really* shouldn't be running lmc directly on the system with --no-virt anyway <adamw> it's a fundamentally risky thing to do
