Description MStites 2003-11-12 03:24:24 UTC
Description of problem:
During install, both from CD and HTTP. The installer has an 
"Exception Occured" crash after hitting the NEXT button after 
entering the root password. This error is repeatable on two seperate 
machines. MD5SUM's are correct for all three yarrow ISO's. I 
redownloaded all three ISO's from a secondary source, and still the 
same issue.
Both machines have RH9 on them. I use EXT3 on one machine and 
EXT3/REISERFS on the other.
Both text and GUI modes have the same exception.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
 1. Start install via HTTP.
2. Continue smoothly to root password screen. Enter Password
3. Hit next.

Actual results
A window pops(both GUI and text installs) up stating Exception 
Occured, and spits out the following: 
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 766, in nextClicked
    self.dispatch.gotoNext()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 168, in gotoNext
    self.moveStep()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 236, in moveStep
    rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args))
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 146, in readPackages
    hdrlist = method.readHeaders()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/urlinstall.py", line 204, in readHeaders
    raise TypeError, "bad magic in header"
TypeError: bad magic in header


Expected results:
It start package selection and harddrive format.

Additional info:
192.168.2.4/serve/Fedora is my web server
192.168.2.100 is the machine FC1 is being attempted on.

What HTTP server are you using?  This error means that while reading
the header list from the server, there was unexpected data received. 
If you just wget the hdlist file and md5sum it, does it match what is
on the server?

Hi, thank you for your quick response.
webserver: RH9, httpd-2.0.40-21.3. No special confiuration, just out
of the box config....
server:
# pwd
/serve/Fedora/Fedora/base
# md5sum hdlist
230ea31e7c3c309ce5b2a77cbef3d071  hdlist

client:

also checked the md5sum on hdlist2

client: 
# md5sum hdlist2

looks like the md5sum's are the same.

I am haveing this same error while trying to do an FTP install on a
clean system.  Reproducable on 2 different systems. Using various FTP
servers.. (redhat.secsup.com, ftp.freshrpms.net have been tested by
me, my brother has tested others).

I need an apt-getable install.. install a base system and get it up
and running, then apt-get the rest of the packages:)

I get the same error doing a HD install.  Interestingly enough, the HD
install is using the exact same dvd ISO file used to create the
install disk. This error does not happen when using the DVD as install
media.

Comment 5 Jay Treiman 2004-01-21 17:50:03 UTC
I am not sure if this is related, but it sounds similar.

I downloaded the iso's for Fedora and wrote them onto CD's using a
machine with RedHat 9.  The checks of the iso's and disks are OK.

The install starts and I skip the media check.  The installer exists
abnormally with the errors:

cpio: bad magic error 2 reading header
bad addressinstall, exited abnormally

Any ideas?



Comment 6 Mike Dorst 2004-02-29 21:32:01 UTC
I'm havin the same problem as Jay. 
 
error 2 reading header: cpio: Bad magic 
 
is the error i get when i proceed with the media check into anaconda 
from burned iso's. It says anaconda is unable to execute and you 
have to reboot 

Comment 7 Duncan Matthew Stirling 2004-04-12 15:44:16 UTC
I'm having this problem as well, through an NFS install. Downloaded iso images via 
ftp.telus.net fedora mirror, md5sums are correct. 

Comment 8 Ken Cooper 2004-04-13 20:59:01 UTC
Hi:

  That SAME EXACT error as Jays is the one I have.  I bought a totally
new AMD Athlon 2.08ghz (512mb RAM, 160gb hd) server, trying to install
Fedora on it for my website.  Once I boot the setup by the CD, usually
I'll get several different types of errors, one common one being the
one exactly like Jay.  The only different is you're all getting this
error WHILE you have it installed, whereas I have NOTHING installed. 
Any ideas of how to fix this?  I've been messing with this ALL WEEK,
and nothing.  Please, I beg of all of you to help me out!!!  Thanks a
lot!!

Hi,

Unfortunately i don't have a solution to the problem but i can say 
that i have exately the same problem. Im trying to install fedora 
using a netinstall (flobby -> ftp (from sunsite.swtich-cnlab.ch)). 
the hardware i use is a dell poweredge 4300 with a adaptect 7860 
controller.

after the installer sownloaded the stage2.img file i can start 
choosing mouse, partitioning disk etc. the last screen before the 
failure happens ist to set the root password. afterwards i also 
receive the:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 766, in nextClicked
    self.dispatch.gotoNext()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 168, in gotoNext
    self.moveStep()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 236, in moveStep
    rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args))
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 146, in readPackages
    hdrlist = method.readHeaders()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/urlinstall.py", line 204, in readHeaders
    raise TypeError, "bad magic in header"
TypeError: bad magic in header 

if it should be useful i can post the whoole anadump.txt file

Comment 10 JJ Monnat 2004-05-20 21:35:46 UTC
I had the exact same error with a brand new sever HP ML 310.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 766, in nextClicked
    self.dispatch.gotoNext()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 168, in gotoNext
    self.moveStep()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 236, in moveStep
    rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args))
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 146, in readPackages
    hdrlist = method.readHeaders()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/urlinstall.py", line 204, in readHeaders
    raise TypeError, "bad magic in header"
TypeError: bad magic in header 


How can I install Fedora bypassing this problem ?

Thanks
JJ

Should be better in FC3.
