I am not failure with anaconda 7.1, but it should be similar to 7.2.
That exception comes from the line above it failing (from 7.2)
if not os.access (root + command, os.X_OK):
raise RuntimeError, command + " can not be run"
os.access is checking to see if instroot/sbin/depmod exists and can be
executed. On 7.2 instroot=/mnt/sysimage it may be different on 7.1.
If the computer you were installing on is still in the installer
where it died, switch to the console on terminal 2 (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and
see if /mnt/sysimage/sbin/depmod exists and is executable. Otherwise
boot with a boot disk and examen the partition that /sbin would be on.
I also am not failure with making a kickstart CD, but this is how I
have made a custom kernel for booting with. This requires the CDs to be
rebuild from scratch, but it isn't too hard. See previous posts on the
list on how to set up a build tree and make custom CDs.
1 Get kernel srpm from Red Hat.
2 Modify that config to suite my needs
3 Rebuild kernel BOOT packages and place in distro build tree and remove
old kernel from build tree
4 Recreate iso's and boot disks using buildinstall and other related
programs
Hope this helps
