[rhelv5-beta-list] Xen guest installing failing - Anaconda error

[Duke, Michael]

I'm trying to build a Xen guest on a newly installed RHEL5 Beta 1 system. I'm using the method I've previously used - the xenguest-install.py script. I get as far as the package selection being completed in the text-mode installer before it errors out as follows:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 942, in ?
    anaconda.intf.run(anaconda)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 540, in run
    anaconda.dispatch.gotoNext()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 123, in gotoNext
    self.moveStep()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 200, in moveStep
    rc = stepFunc(self.anaconda)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/backend.py", line 154, in doPostSelection
    return anaconda.backend.doPostSelection(anaconda)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 874, in doPostSelection
    self.selectBestKernel()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 807, in selectBestKernel
    self.ayum.install(po = kxen)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 1708, in install
    raise Errors.InstallError, 'Nothing specified to install'
InstallError: Nothing specified to install

Anyone else having any success building a guest using this method (xenguest-install.py -n xxx -f /path/to/file -s 10 -r 2000 -p -l http://my/repository)? I have the complete Anaconda dump saved on a remote host and can provide it if necessary.
