I have seen a couple of short treads on this but no real information. I am
looking to update a RH7.2 distro to the latest packages for an automated
installation system I am setting up. I copied CDs 1 and 2 into a single nfs
share, downloaded the updates from http://mirror.hiwaay.net merged the
updates with the RedHat/RPMS directory removing the older packages. I
updated the comps list by adding Omni and Omni-foomatic, which is now needed
by ghostscript. I moved the hdlist and hdlist2 files and ran
"/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers --hdlist /path/to/hdlist
/path/to/distro" which created the hdlist and hdlist2 files. I am getting
an exception error during a manual install with the new distro. Here are
the first 20 lines of the dump file.

The install worked prior to updating the RPMs. I expect I am missing
something but do not know what that may be. I will try again with just the
kernel rpms and if that fails with something less extreme. Is there any
documentation on this process that is current?
