User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (X11; U; AIX 4.3)

Description of problem:
Trying to create and use an install CD that include updated RPMs.  anaconda gets
an unhandled exception when it attempts to read the updated hdlist file in the
updated CD images.    

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install base system from RH distribution CDs.
2. Add anaconda and anaconda-runtime from distribution CD 2 to system.
3. Load contents of distrbution CD 1 to hard drive.
4. Replace several selected RPMs with updated versions of these RPMs.
5. Ran genhdlist <root_of_cd_image> to create updated hdlist and hdlist2 files
in RedHat/base in cd image.  No indication of problem.
6. Obseved that new hdlist and hdlist2 files were only about half the size of
the ones they replaced.  Proceeded anyway.
7. Created ISO image by running mkisofs with -r -l and -allow-multidot flags
8.  Burned CD from created image
9. Initiated install from pcmcia and pcmciadd floppys on laptop.  

		

Actual Results:  Installation proceeds normally until anaconda tries to read
updated versions of hdlist and/ro hdlist2 files, then gets an unhandled
exception.  Game over.

Expected Results:  Normal installation with updated RPMs.
