It seems to be that running genhdlist didn't re-create the 
hdlist/hdlist2 files, or it didn't re-create them in the right place. 
When you run your hdlist command - check to make sure that the date on 
those files is updated to the time you ran the command. The files should 
be in your /var/redhat.disks/redhat-9.0/base/ directory.
