I just tried an install from my local repo (boot
from CD 1, use http method), and it failed right after entering the root
password setting with:

Unable to read group information from repositories.
This is a problem with the generation of your
install tree.

Reboot


So now what?  Is there something I can just extract
from the isos?

Robert,

#cd /pathtorepo/5/i386
#createrepo -g ./repodata/comps.xml ./
I did this and it ended with:

Could not remove old metadata dir: .olddata
Error was [Errno 39] Directory not empty: '/repos/centos/5.1/os/i386/.olddata'
Please clean up this directory manually.

#cd ../x86_64/
#createrepo -g ./repodata/comps.xml ./
I did not build the x86_64 tree.
the -g param will setup group data for your repo.
This works for me -- adjust the $releasever (mycase=5)
for your repo.
OK, where is this #releasever set?
