Some of the latest ISO images that were produced by rBuilder Online were behaving very strangely. Anaconda would install the non-SMP "kernel" package, but the SMP "kernel:runtime" component. I haven't had the time to track it down until today. The fix seems simple enough, but it took a lot of code tracing to develop it.

The package and group selection code in Anaconda is pretty awful. I used to understand, but then comps.xml appeared. Hopefully the new AnacondaBackend code will make it easy for me to ditch all the existing package selection code and use something that follows the Conary model.
