The problem is that the version of rpm used by the redhat installer (anaconda?) itself doens't properly understand packages built with rpmv4. So even through kickstart actually uses rpm v4 and all the other errata when creating a new install unless first rebuild the packages with rpm v3 the install doens't work. Clear?
