Pkgorder of x86_64 RHEL 4.2 on i386 RHEL 4.2

[Michael Shuler]

That error actually looks like you are serving up a 64-bit installer 
kernel/initrd to a 32-bit client.  I have not tried running one of my 
installers from a 64-bit platform.  Try replacing the installer 
kernel/initrd again with the correct 32-bit images that you are trying 
to install, just to be sure.  Is this a PXE installer you are working on?

Kind Regards,
Michael
