So is seems that if you remove the machine-id file it won't regenerate the file
but if you touch the file and leave it empty on boot it'll put a new machine-id
in the empty file. So work around this bug ("feature"?) by touching the file
so we don't have other issues in the process.
We're track the outcome of this in RHBZ 1379800
As referenced on the arm list [1] and as already being done on the docker image we
should remove the unique /etc/machine-id file on compose artifacts to ensure it's
regenerated and unique on each deployed host/device. This unifies the process across
all base ks so it's inherited for each artifact.

it's no longer pulled in by cloud-init (since 2014...). None
of these kickstarts has it in %packages, and it's not in any
of the cloud environment or package groups in comps either. So
it seems like no-one particularly wants rsyslog in the cloud
images.
From compose logs, it looks like trying to enable a non-existent
service in anaconda in Fedora 24 and earlier wasn't a fatal
error (anaconda more or less logged a warning and continued),
but in Fedora 25 and later it does seem to be fatal. It at least
causes one anaconda thread to crash, though the image compose
completes. I think possibly at least the way anaconda's run
in the Cloud compose process, the main thread manages to exit,
but it seems pretty likely the thread crash will result in
problems in the produced image.
Needed on master and f25.
Due to #1369794 , anaconda cannot currently manipulate sysv
services in F25+. So to work around this, take 'network' out of
the services lines in all kickstarts and instead manipulate
it in the %post section, with chkconfig.
Also remove rsyslog from the Atomic image services line because
it doesn't appear to be included in the OStree tree at present
and so attempting to enable the service breaks Atomic image
compose, see e.g.:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/9022/15349022/oz-x86_64.log
also correct the name of the ssh service in fedora-arm-base.ks;
it's sshd not ssh.
With e2fsprogs after 1.43 the 64bit and metadata_csum features are
enabled by default. These features are not currently supported in
u-boot and the 64bit feature introduces changes such that it cannot
be read by implementations that do not support it. U-Boot does not
support the functionality and hence now won't mount it just in case
it corrupts the filesystem, which is a reasonable response, this how
ever stops us from booting when we have a ext4 /boot file system
which means basically we end up with a pot plant. Go back to using
ext3 for the time being as the mkfs.ext3 option doesn't enable these
features and we get booting systems!! YAY \o/
We need to have chronyd start after livesys has finished so that
the config for chronyd gets rewritten before it starts. If not it
will overwrite the system clock with a time that will be incorrect
(US eastern stored as local time instead of UTC) for most people.
This fixes bug 1018162.
Now that F24 images are made with livemedia-creator instead of
livecd-creator, the kickstart parser has changed; the new kickstart
parser doesn't understand the $INSTALL_ROOT variable we'd been using in
%post --nochroot scripts. This commit fixes this by replacing
$INSTALL_ROOT usage with hardcoded /mnt/sysimage as docs suggest.
While at this, this commit also fixes a case where resolv.conf would be
incorrectly copied if it is a symlink, thanks to dgilmore for pointing
this out.
After removing grub2 the which package gets removed. Let's add it back
because it is generally useful and because it is needed for many vagrant
utilities to work.
