Pkgorder of x86_64 RHEL 4.2 on i386 RHEL 4.2

[Pierzycki, Chris (GE Healthcare, consultant)]

I checked all the packages.  The error complains about kernel-smp
package ... which I know is there.

It looks like Michael was right.  But now I am trying to build a 32 bit
distro on 64 bit platform and I am running to different problem.
Everything goes well with the creation process but when the media loads,
it says it doesn't support the long mode... please use 32 bit system.
Joy.

Chris

It seems like you are missing some package.
You try this and make sure all packages are in the RPMS:

# cd to-your-RPMS-dir
mkdir /tmp/testdb
rpm --initdb --dbpath /tmp/testdb
rpm --test --dbpath /tmp/testdb -Uvh *.rpm

I would always do this first before I try the genhlist-pkgorder-genhlist
stuffs.
