If you add updates=http://people.redhat.com/clumens/238711.img to your
boot flags, that will get you the fix for this. You'll still need to
remount your CD device in the %post script. And if you want the CD to
be ejected at the end, you'll need to add --eject to your
shutdown/reboot/halt/whatever command.

No, you don't want to mix RHEL and Fedora packages especially with how
divergent Fedora is getting from RHEL5 as time goes on. I don't know
where to point you for the latest rawhide repo as a new one has not gone
out for a while now.
