Try logging the output and error streams of every command to a file to
determine what the problem is:
%post --nochroot
(mkdir -p /mnt/sysimage/root/my_extra; mkdir /tmp/iso; mount /tmp/
cdrom /tmp/iso; cp -fa /tmp/iso/Custom/logo /mnt/sysimage/root/
my_extra; cp -fa /tmp/iso/Custom/errata /mnt/sysimage/root/my_extra;
cp -fa /tmp/iso/Custom/post /mnt/sysimage/root/my_extra; cp -fa /tmp/
iso/Custom/lockdown.sh /mnt/sysimage/root/my_extra) 1>/mnt/sysimage/
root/post_install.log 2>&1
You should then be able to see what is causing the problem. Hope this
helps.

%post --nochroot
mkdir -p /mnt/sysimage/root/my_extra
mkdir /tmp/iso
mount /tmp/cdrom /tmp/iso
cp -fa /tmp/iso/Custom/logo /mnt/sysimage/root/my_extra

cp -fa /tmp/iso/Custom/post /mnt/sysimage/root/my_extra
cp -fa /tmp/iso/Custom/lockdown.sh /mnt/sysimage/root/my_extra
This worked under RHEL 4. However, not working now at all.

You can do all of this in %post --nochroot. Where did you find that
you cannot do this in RHEL5?
I think that you are misinterpreting the installation guide: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-kickstart2-postinstallconfig.html
Just copy your data from the media to where you would like under /
mnt/
sysimage/.
Have you tried this yet, or were you strictly basing this assumption
off of the installation guide?

I am trying to create a custom ISO using RHEL 5.
In RHEL 4 it was possible to mount the cdrom in the kickstart file
after
install (%post --nochroot) and copy over files to the root homedir.
Apparently that feature is no longer available according to the
RHEL 5
Installation Guide. Are there any suggestions on how to get a tar
file,
background images and a script loaded onto a system using either
ks.cfg
or some other means automatically? (i.e. no user interaction)
Thanks,
