My experience so far is that if your ks actually chooses packages by their arch, x86_64 and noarach
only, anaconda won't pull in any x86 rpms like it used to. If you just specify packages by name, it
may.

>How do I find out what is wrong with the file and correct it?

Without your ks files, hard to speculate. Anaconda has been broken for a while now if
you choose a cdrom install and point to the updates repo, you need to point to os and
updates on a remote server. At least I have reproduced this with 100% certainty at multiple
locations...

Post a cleaned up ks to troubleshoot further.
