(This question seems to arise once every few months; I'm almost tempted 
to hunt down the issue on anaconda's pakage order code)

RHEL3 has a bug/feature whereby anaconda does not re-order package lists 
generated by genhdlist when necessary.

This mail:

details the "genhdlist; pkgorder; genhdlist" steps required.
