Kickstart.cfg secrets?

[Patrick Campbell]

Installing RH9 here with a custom CD and kickstart.cfg.  Put packages from
Disc 2 onto Disc 1 and re-made the ISO.

Any secret as to why:

A) --resolvedeps under %packages does not work (I get the manual prompt
anyway...)

B) Sometimes my rootpw --isencrypted <removed> does not work, sometimes it
does.  Sometimes I'll go to login to my server after an install and the
password is wrong.  

It is not that I care that much to have to reboot, mount the HD and change
the password manually, it just makes me worry why things that should be
concrete are changing without my knowledge.
