Hi Nazunalika:
Making some progress on the difficulty with Livemedia-creator.
Some preliminary obervations:
-I’ve belatedly realized that we’ve faced this problem before, last January,
when you were guiding me through the use/creation of kickstart files, as
described in the post,
Installation Problem with Rocky-8-XFCE-x86_64-latest - #13 by LenE
-A difficulty/some confusion was created by the fact that the
Rocky-8.9-minimal.iso was configured with kernel-4.18.0-513.5.1.el8_9.x86_64,
and subsequently there is a new version available,
kernel-4.18.0-513.9.1.el8_9.x86_64.
The mock software always uses the latest kernel available, so before working
with mock, it is essential to update to the latest kernel,
sudo yum upgrade kernel kernel-*, in order to achieve valid results.
-Further tests on my HP Compaq DC5800 failed in the same way as previously.
It only has 2GB of memory, and it may not be enough to run livemedia-creator ??
My HP Pavilion Media Center M8247c has 3GB of memory, and the sata disk
controller.
On the latest mock runs, in the mock -r rocky-8-x86_64 --install command of
your procedure, I inserted kmod-sata_nv-3.5-9.el8_9.elrepo.x86_64.rpm in the
front of the package list.
The following shows the test results:

2023-12-14 18:33:31,024: The exact error message is:
2023-12-14 18:33:31,024:
2023-12-14 18:33:31,024: The following mandatory spokes are not completed:

2023-12-14 18:33:31,025: The installer will now terminate.The two runs terminated with this same result.
The first one used Rocky-8-XFCE.ks, the 2nd used rocky-8-xfce-elrepo.ks.
Given that these kickstarts were created by an expert, I don’t understand why
these messages came up.
