FWIW, I have this problem with 5.6.
Are you installing from a local repo? If you are, try rsyncing the repo again. See if it changes the repodata files at all.
I have yet to find why my repodata files are changing for the main repo (I didn't build our original repo servers, there are a bunch of random scripts that run that were created by a previous admin), but re-syncing the repos seems to stop that error from popping up during a kickstart.

Not sure this is related... I just Cobbler-ified and Puppet-ized for CentOS 6... One thing I had in Cobbler was that I pointed to addons - which doesn't look like it exists in 6. I looked in 5.6 and noted nothing there...so I dropped addons as a repo in 6.
All my VMs are installing correctly now for what its worth...

Well, I started the install, got pxeboot to get to the kickstart file, formatted the drive... and then it failed, telling me "unable to read group information from repositories. This is a problem with the generation of your install tree."
A quick google gives me the first hit from a year ago, bug 4372 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4372, which says there's a metadata problem. Has anyone else run into this today?
