 On a freshly installed Fedora 17 VM, latest olpc-os-builder from the
 master branch fails to build using {{{examples/olpc-os-12.1.0-xo1.5.ini}}}
 with the following error message:

 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/sascha.silbe/dx4/modules/base/build.40.imagecreate.py", line
 53, in <module>
     sys.exit(main())
   File "/home/sascha.silbe/dx4/modules/base/build.40.imagecreate.py", line
 38, in main
     creator.configure()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imgcreate/creator.py", line 724,
 in configure
     kickstart.XConfig(self._instroot).apply(ksh.xconfig)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imgcreate/kickstart.py", line
 237, in apply
     f = open(self.path("/etc/inittab"), "rw+")
 IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/imgcreate-
 SkM_NT/install_root/etc/inittab'
 }}}

 The actual error is happening earlier, but yum continues regardless, as
 can be seen in the [https://sascha.silbe.org/tmp/121006SS1-build.log build
 log]:

 {{{
 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.qdTWTM: line 1: /usr/sbin/groupadd: Permission denied
 error: %pre(initscripts-9.37-1.fc17.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status
 126
 error: initscripts-9.37-1.fc17.i686: install failed
 }}}

 After turning off SELinux (by passing {{{selinux=0}}} to the kernel) on
 the build host (the F17 VM), the build process continues well beyond this
 point (i.e. fixes / works around the problem).

 olpc-os-builder should either be fixed to work with SELinux activated (if
 possible) or bail out early with a clear instruction to turn off SELinux
 on the build host.
