In the above commands you are using /data/CentOS for the pkgorder and 
genhdlist, and /data/OWLinux with buildinstall - so you might not 
actually be making a CD of install you've just created ...

Are there any errors from the buildinstall process?

Also, I'm not sure why you are running pkgorder twice - I re-build the 
installer by running genhdlist, pkgorder and then genhdlist again with 
the output from pkgorder before running buildinstall
