Weird.  Works for me.

I have all the current updates for rh7.0 in my nfs install image.
I can do this:

$ ./genhdlist --withnumbers /install/rh7.0/

and /install/rh7.0/RedHat/base/hdlist is correctly rebuilt without
complaints:

$ ls -l /install/7.0/RedHat/base/hdlist 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      9471172 Apr 18 14:17 /install/7.0/RedHat/base/hdlist

Also no problems when doing this for the split cdrom iso images.

$ rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.0.2-7x
$ ldd ./genhdlist
	not a dynamic executable

Cheers
Tony
