fedora kickstart funnies

I'm trying to install FC1 via nfs on a dual processor workstation with
an nvidia graphics card. I'm using a customized comps.xml with rpms from
a variety of sources. In particular i'm using the kernels and nvidia
kernel modules from atrpms.

If I omit the SMP kernels everything is fine. However with the SMP
kernels I run into this error:

#/usr/share/comps-extras/getfullcomps.py comps.xml /a/yarrow/cdrom i686
CRITICAL ERROR: Unable to resolve dependency
/boot/vmlinux-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl_37.rhfc1.atsmp for
nvidia-graphics-kmdl-smp-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl_37.rhfc1.at

(that's all on one line originally)

However the file that is complained about is in the kernel-smp rpm:

# rpm -qlp kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl_37.rhfc1.at.i686.rpm | \
 	grep /boot/vmlinux-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl_37.rhfc1.atsmp
/boot/vmlinux-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl_37.rhfc1.atsmp

The relevant (I think) part of comps.xml looks like this:

  </package>
  <package>
    <name>nvidia-graphics-kmdl-smp-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl_37.rhfc1.at</name>
    <dependencylist>
      <dependency>bash</dependency>
      <dependency>modutils</dependency>
      <dependency>atrpms</dependency>
      <dependency>kernel-smp</dependency>
    </dependencylist>
  </package>

However the kickstart installation still works, the correct kernels and
modules are installed.

Can someone tell me where I need to look to fix this?


Regards,

Chris
