Hi Chris!

It seems you are not the first to have this problem:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-January/msg06460.html
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-January/msg06177.html

The second link suggests it may be that the kernel package is not being
included in the package list. See this Bugzilla report for an anaconda
code snippet that shows what triggers this error message:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=106590

BTW, Are you the same Chris Negus of "Red Hat Linux Bible" series fame?
If so, I own your book; it's great! :-)

Regards,
-Matt
