You might want to file a bug. http://bugzilla.redhat.com Fedora Extras 
component 'kadischi'.

If you take a look here:
-rw-r--r--  2 root root 112 Jan 13 19:34 /etc/resolv.conf
Is the /etc/resolv.conf here.. I'll throw in an updated kernel, 
kernel-smp, kernel-docs, and kernel-devel packages..
Run pkgorder and genhdlist, you can check 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kadischi/FAQ for more information on this.

With rpm -qR kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 we know what we require. So we can 
check that against our
repository. Everything meets the kernel's requirements.
Move kernel* to /somewhere/backup
Move kernel* to /repository/Fedora/RPMS
Then run kadischi.
On this SMP machine kernel and kernel-smp get installed. (If filing a 
bug, describe your build environment as best as possible)
The ISO is made and we'll mount it via loopback to make absolutely sure 
nothing obvious is missing..
like a vmlinuz or initrd :-\
[root at SMP-NODE-1 boot]# pwd
/mnt/iso/boot
[root at SMP-NODE-1 boot]# ls -l vmlinuz* && ls -l initrd*
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1551206 Jan 16 14:12 vmlinuz-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1616689 Jan 16 14:13 vmlinuz-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4smp
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1006298 Jan 16 14:13 initrd-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4.img
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1006293 Jan 16 14:13 initrd-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4smp.img
[root at SMP-NODE-1 boot]#
Our resolv.conf hasn't changed either: -rw-r--r--  2 root root 112 Jan 
13 19:34 /etc/resolv.conf

I'm going to have to guess you may be running Kadischi/Anaconda in a 
VMware VM, perhaps?
