RHEL5 - copy files from DVD during %post

[Kennedy, Cameron]

I may have completely missed the mark with your question, because I
don't have any issues with the following in my kickstart script: 

%post
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
rsync -rv /mnt/cdrom/LL_Extras /root
HOSTNAMETMP=SERVERNAME
cp /mnt/cdrom/ks..tar.gz /root/LL_Extras/.
umount /mnt/cdrom


Basically I use this to copy various saved files, SUN JAVA installs and
so on from my custome DVD I make. By custom, all I do is add ks files,
server saved files and an LL_EXTRAS folders which has a bunch of
installation programs that I need. Right now, that totals about 500MB in
size. 

I don't modify any stage2.img file or make any changes to the standard
RHEL DVD files. I use this in RHEL4.x through 5.2 without issues. 
Regards,

Subject: RHEL5 - copy files from DVD during %post

So, I've read that anaconda got broke in RHEL5, and it ejects the DVD
too early.  I found a post about creating a new stage2.img with a couple
of lines in dispatch.py swapped which is supposed to fix this.  I did
that, and wound up with a DVD that is ejecting right after the SCSI
drivers load!

I really need to be able to copy files from the DVD during %post  What
is the correct incantation to make this happen?

Thanks...
