Yes I did do that. I also tried adding lines to /etc/yum.conf like:

sys_ven_id=0x1028
sys_dev_id=0x0185

Neither seemed to have no effect on the following RPMS when building
on my trusty optiplex. The packages that died were:

srvadmin-cm-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-deng-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-hapi-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-isvc-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-iws-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-jre-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-odf-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-old-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-omacore-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-omauth-5.2.0-460.rhel5
srvadmin-omhip-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-rac3-components-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-rac4-components-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-rac5-components-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-racadm5-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-racdrsc3-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-racdrsc4-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-racdrsc5-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-racser-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-racsvc-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-racvnc-5.2.0-460
srvadmin-storage-5.2.0-460

The only thing in my kickstart was to get
srvadmin-all
