Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your help.

Same result here after installing the above createrepo RPM.

"Unable to read group information from repositories.  This
is a problem with the generation of your install tree."

The dialog box says simply "Reboot."  At the next box, I get:

        | You have specified that the group 'virtualization' should    |
        | be installed. This group does not exist. Would you like to   |
        | continue or abort your installation?

If I say continue, the install seems to proceed okay.

At boot time, however, the system hangs at Mounting Other Filesystems.

I suspect that the initial install was not clean and so I am chasing
that down before moving on to the hung CentOS 5 boot.

Thanks.
