Kickstart for x86_64 Architecture

I am trying to build an install CD for x86_64 architecture on Fedora Core 5 using kixkstart. I have created an install CD for i386 and I have tried to build the x86_64 install CD following the same steps. I do have a CD that is able to boot, but when it comes to figure out the packages to install, the yum /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py script aborts at line 374 generating the following error message:
GroupsError: No Groups Available in any repository

I would like to figure out what is going on, but I can't find the __init__.py source file (it is compiled on the boot CD).

The url parameter in the ks.cfg file seems to be configured properly, because the install script finds Fedora/base/minstg2.img

I found the issue. The repodata directory for the base RPMs need to have a comps.xml file and the repomd.xml file needs to have a group section that references the comps.xml file. When issuing the createrepo command, issue it with the -g repodata/comps.xml parameter.
