#3744 Problem in RH/CentOS 6 templates

[Lissa Valletta]

Two users report problems deploying Centos with default image templates. Here is the mailing.
I just ran into problem that took me far too long to debug. I'm hoping that it can be fixed upstream, but at the very least this will get it documented.
I created a new install osimage based on the centos6.4-x86_64-install-storage one that is created after running copycds. By default it uses the template:
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/centos/storage.centos6.tmpl

That file along with many other templates include options that will cause Anaconda to fail. What made it take so long to debug is that I couldn't get it to tell me why it was failing when it was booting from tftp. I had to load a DVD and tell that to boot from the generated kickstart file on the server.
The bad options are documented as deprecated in RedHat's documentation and they are as follows:

langsupport
mouse
--resolvedeps (on the %packages line)

Removing those allowed the kickstart to continue on my CentOS 6.4 build. I assume the same problem with show up with any RedHat or CentOS 6.x
