I had similar problems with RHEL4 beta2. I had to run genhdlist twice. #!/bin/bash DISTRO_TREE=/rhel4-beta2 ## CREATE THE PACKAGE ORDER ### echo "Grab package order into pkgorder.txt" pkgorder $DISTRO_TREE i386 >$DISTRO_TREE/pkgorder.txt genhdlist --withnumbers --fileorder $DISTRO_TREE/pkgorder.txt $DISTRO_TREE #run genhdlist again, Doing it once does not work now for some reason. genhdlist --withnumbers --fileorder $DISTRO_TREE/pkgorder.txt $DISTRO_TREE Jason L Tibbitts III wrote:

You know, I just had a problem like that this morning. I keep an updated install tree and this had been working fine until I integrated a recent batch of updates; after that the installer would simply die after the "Preparing RPM Transaction" dialog had completed. Going back to the stock set of packages and hdlists from the DVD fixed the problem. I usually run genhdlist without messing with pkgorder because at least for x86 trees it's not needed. (It's required for FC2-x86_64 to get the glibc install ordering correct.) But I went ahead and ran it, at which point it spewed a bunch of messages about dependency loops. After that, everything installed fine. Here's how I call genhdlist/pkgorder from the python script that keeps my tree updates: os.system("/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --productpath Fedora %s/../.." % updated_release_dir) os.system("PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder %s/../.. i386 Fedora > pkgorder" % updated_release_dir) os.system("/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --productpath Fedora --fileorder pkgorder %s/../.." % updated_release_dir) which is basically, genhdlist once, then pkgorder, then genhdlist again with the generated order file. Install the anaconda package to get pkgorder. Maybe it will work for you. - J< _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
