That error actually looks like you are serving up a 64-bit installer
kernel/initrd to a 32-bit client. I have not tried running one of my
installers from a 64-bit platform. Try replacing the installer
kernel/initrd again with the correct 32-bit images that you are trying
to install, just to be sure. Is this a PXE installer you are working on?
Kind Regards,
Michael

I checked all the packages. The error complains about kernel-smp

It looks like Michael was right. But now I am trying to build a 32 bit
distro on 64 bit platform and I am running to different problem.
Everything goes well with the creation process but when the media loads,
it says it doesn't support the long mode... please use 32 bit system.
Joy.

It seems like you are missing some package.
You try this and make sure all packages are in the RPMS:
# cd to-your-RPMS-dir
mkdir /tmp/testdb
rpm --initdb --dbpath /tmp/testdb
rpm --test --dbpath /tmp/testdb -Uvh *.rpm
I would always do this first before I try the genhlist-pkgorder-genhlist
stuffs.

The following is the script I am using
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime
genhdlist $1 # Full path required
pkgorder $1 x86_64 > /tmp/pkgorder.txt
genhdlist --fileorder /tmp/pkgorder.txt $DIST
Our installer runs AS-3_i386 - you need to trick genhdlist ;)
