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: # wget http://tanto/serve/Fedora/Fedora/base/hdlist --09:52:10-- http://tanto/serve/Fedora/Fedora/base/hdlist => `hdlist' Resolving tanto... done.

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. 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? 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 I'm having this problem as well, through an NFS install. Downloaded iso images via ftp.telus.net fedora mirror, md5sums are correct. 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 I had the exact same error with a brand new sever HP ML 310.
