Not sure if you did this already, but there are some release notes (in the docs dir, or online at http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/wiki/oscar:4.2.1:install_guide:chapter_3) which apply to 4.2.1 on ia64 and CentOS 4. I am not sure what the error message for this problem looks like but it does mention that not having the ia32el package present. I am guessing this is not the problem, but it is worth a try.
This is probably a time intensive question, but does the image build succeed if you don't include the extra rpms on the rpm list? I'll try and find the rpmlist pieces in the code, but I am not realy familiar with it so I may not have much luck. Most of the core developers are in Oak Ridge talking about the next release cycle, including the folks who wrote this part I think.
