genhdlist issue?

(Sorry don't know how all of this is going to format.)

Have an RHN account and was able to d/l the s/390 RPMs much quicker that
way.

I brought down the s390/base and s390/installer directories from the
regular RedHat FTP site.

So, my first attempt to install s390 took 12 minutes for 360 packages.=20
I knew something was wrong because some packages whizzed right by.  Of
course I couldn't boot into RedHat/390 once complete.  Read a bit more
and figured that I would have to run genhdlist or at least I had no
other ideas on what I needed to fix.

Ran genhdlist on my RedHat 8.0 RPM server, but then retried the RH/390
install only to get an anaconda crash as it's trying to read the package
information:

I'm wondering if genhdlist and the hdlist file it creates are OS
dependent?

My HTTP logs:=20
192.168.200.3 - - [06/Jan/2003:20:22:13 -0400] "GET

Any ideas?  Did I go wrong with getting all the RPMS from RHN?  My DSL
connection is getting like 2kB/s from ftp.redhat.com!
