import bootyutil


i have a fix, but attention i'm not a python programmer !

download the rpm source

# curl -O http://vault.centos.org/5.8/updates/SRPMS/anaconda-11.1.2.250-1.el5.centos.3.src.rpm


install the SRPM
rpm -i anaconda-11.1.2.250-1.el5.centos.3.src.rpm


unpack the anaconda-11.1.2.250.tar.bz2 (on the SOURCES folder of your build arch mine is /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES)

on the file 
bootloader.py

replace 

import booty

by
import sys
sys.path.append("/usr/lib/booty")
import booty


on the file 
fsset.py

replace 

import booty

by
sys.path.append("/usr/lib/booty")
import booty


change the
Release: 1.el5.centos.4

on the file (it was Release: 1.el5.centos.3)
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/anaconda.spec


then repack and re-install
# rm anaconda-11.1.2.250.tar.bz2
# tar cpvjf anaconda-11.1.2.250.tar.bz2 anaconda-11.1.2.250
# rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/anaconda.spec
# rpm -e anaconda anaconda-runtime
# rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/anaconda-11.1.2.250-1.el5.centos.4.i386.rpm
# rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/anaconda-runtime-11.1.2.250-1.el5.centos.4.i386.rpm


Copy the rpm in the path of you buildinstall command look for

Then buildinstall, the pkgorder in the build process, AND in the install stage succed

I didn't know if the
import sys
has a consequence

This is fixed in the next major release of RHEL.  If you require a fix in a RHEL 5 update release, please talk with your support representative who will raise it through the appropriate channels for scheduling.  Thanks.
Comment 2 emmanuel.borlet 2012-03-19 08:03:14 UTC 
You mean RHEL 5.9 ? or RHEL 6.3 ?
Comment 3 emmanuel.borlet 2013-03-20 10:39:46 UTC

patches anaconda to fix issue

Issue still exists, but this patch solves the problem. I can't take credit for it.  I found it on the CentOS forums; but it works great and solves the problem.

Without it, this issue is still present in RH511 too.
