Patch to fix the problem

Description of problem:
anaconda attempts to run lspci to detect if VMware is installed (in yuminstall.py line 860), but lspci is only included in the rescue environment, not the installation environment. This happens while making a respin of a CentOS-based product that does not include graphics mode installer support (ie --nogr is supplied to buildinstall).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-11.1.2.168.

How reproducible:
Always

How to reproduce:
(I think) you can reproduce it by running running buildinstall with --nogr option when creating the installation image.

Actual results:
Installation environment does not contain 'lspci' command.

Expected results:
Installation environment contains 'lspci' command.

This should be fixed in RHEL5.4.  Thanks for the bug report and patch.
