Hello, all - I've been throwing the question around on the kickstart-list for the last few days here, and can't quite get ahold of things. Please, allow me to explain. I am in the process of making a custom CentOS/RHEL kickstart install. It works well right now; however, it's a hackjob, and I am not comfortable with it as of yet. For the past few days, I've even gone as far as

...nd is almost completely automated. Now, I want to add additional RPMS to the CentOS/RPMS directory to install additional packages in the default install. In preparation, I was regenerating the hdlist using "genhdlist" even before adding the extra RPMS, just to checkout. A new hdlist and hdlist2 is sucessfully regenerated in CentOS/base dir with a small reduction in file size of hdlist, but the network install fails at the end of "Preparing RPM transaction" screen with the message "install exited abnormally" and shuts down.

I've been able to successfully kickstart CentOS 3.9 from the base repo, but no such luck after merging os and updates. I think I did everything right - updated base/comps.xml and regenerated hdlist/hdlist2. Updated the yum repo as well although I'm pretty sure it's not used by anaconda. This is difficult to debug. The setup is running under kvm on a CentOS 6.4 host, and for some reason, a completely headless install fails (--graphics none; virt-viewer complains loudly and dies). A graphical...

I'm about to create a new CentOS 3 VM for testing, since we still have a bunch of deployed machines running that OS. (Don't yell at me about using old OSes. These machines won't get "un-deployed" until they fall over dead of natural causes. Until the last one dies, we need test and build VMs around to service them.) I have the CentOS 3.9 *.iso files plus a local cache
