Just to give a quick update on this issue: <br>
<br>
If I am just doing an kickstart install from CDROM, get the
kickstart file via http and add the same repos in %post and do
things like <br>
<br>
yum -y update<br>
yum -y install package_from_repo1 package_from_repoX<br>
<br>
it just works fine. <br>
<br>
Must be a nasty anaconda/yum issue. <br>
<br>

<p style="margin: 0px;">Done that, even recreated the repodata for
the RHEL Server stuff as well (Server, VT, ...) keeping the
group information But the situation is still pretty much the
same.</p>
