My group is just starting to support a bi-arch (i386/AMD64) kickstart
and we found a few gotchas along the way. I figured I'd tell the rest
of you in case it helps in any way.
genhdlist must be run on the same architecture you plan to kickstart.
For example, the genhdlist from anaconda-runtime i386 must be run for
i386 kickstarts. The genhdlist from anaconda-runtime x86_64 must be run
on a x86_64 machine for the bi-arch kickstart to proceed.
We had been running the i386 genhdlist against a bi-arch comps.xml, but
things were not getting installed in proper order (i386 RPMs were taking
precedence over x86_64 RPMs).
For previous releases, we've never used pkgorder since it wasn't a
required step for NFS installs, but it appears bi-arch kickstart
requires pkgorder AND arch-specific genhdlist.
