Since sysklogd-1.4.1-39.2 is the version of sysklogd that shipped with RHEL 5.0
(I can find no record of a sysklogd-1.4.1-32.2, are you sure it didn't report
"The file sysklogd-1.4.1-39.2.x86_64.rpm cannot be opened"?), my suspicion is
you have some old files from RHEL 5.0 at http://192.168.x.x/pxe/rhel564.
Specifically primary.xml.gz, which is what tells anaconda what package versions
it should use. Go to the host (192.168.x.x) and check the contents of the
pxe/rhel564/repodata directory. Check the md5sums of the files.

Here are the md5sums for RHEL 5.2 Server:
c08afbc263c71a75bedd847ddfe6d5ce  comps-rhel5-server-core.xml
3afdf321976aacb13bc0659e5874b0b3  filelists.xml.gz
95f121d308260d52bba6a6a8102b258e  other.xml.gz
18b04e5dcfbe64eba59fea6e3750e9e2  primary.xml.gz
8816b87b53ffc8c6ff542a3728b1941c  repomd.xml
a966fa06180ba06fdda5178edbf95c75  TRANS.TBL

And these are the md5sums for the RHEL 5 Server files:
fbf1f3f9808d0c834fd1ca01b3dab24c  comps-rhel5-server-core.xml
19f4a40e247715bf6ab6e84d87d8bfb9  filelists.xml.gz
028bad2bc9d0d818a5754540f0579539  other.xml.gz
ebf520b937716327bf60f3ca887bb0ff  primary.xml.gz
9ce1b5fcd721c0ada03f44dd3cab58c9  repomd.xml
a966fa06180ba06fdda5178edbf95c75  TRANS.TBL

If they're the older versions, you can grab the correct versions from the RHEL
5.2 iso.
