Quick recap: we need to add a new RPM to the list
that gets installed by kickstart.  It can't be
during %post because it's the onboard ethernet
driver.  (SL304)

Thanks to Connie I got a newer version of genhdlist
and ran it with the --default option.  That generated
a new hdlist.  But... the RPM doesn't get loaded by
kickstart.

I tried defining a new group in comps.xml with that
RPM and telling kickstart to load that group as well
as the others.  Kickstart tells me the group doesn't
exist.  I didn't think I really needed this, but I
tried it, anyway.

I also added the .rpm filename to the pkgorder file
(at the end).  No dice.

Do I need to run buildinstall to rebuild stage2.img?
Do I need to run something from base/scripts/ ?

What am I missing?  I've been through at least 100
web pages so far trying to determine what I really
need to do...

Thanks,
Miles

comps.xml addition, just before the <grouphierarchy>
section:

  <group>
    <id>intrinsity</id>
    <name>intrinsity</name>
    <description>home-built RPMs</description>
    <uservisible>true</uservisible>
    <packagelist>
      <packagereq type="mandatory">sk98lin</packagereq>
    </packagelist>
  </group>

The RPM installs just fine on a box that doesn't need
it.  From the live filesystem root:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       199404 Nov 15 16:06 ../RPMS/sk98lin-8.41-1.i386.rpm
