Error given by installer
|
The installation fails during "Reading Package Information" with a traceback error which involves anaconda. I am installing linux 7.0 off my hard drive, and I have tried every possible way ( customized, server, workstation). I have read some reports saying that you have to specify the IP address for your nic to get it to work, I did that but it didn't help. I have exhausted all kinds of changes to the installation to make it work but nothing seems to affect the error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is what the installer had to say about the error: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/textw/packages_text.py", line 33, in __call__ File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 539, in getCompsList File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/harddrive.py", line 43, in readComps File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 459, in __init__ File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 428, in readCompsFile File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 101, in __getitem__ KeyError: indexhtml Local variables in innermost frame: self: <comps.HeaderList instance at 82c4048> item: indexhtml ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iharddrive HardDriveInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'fstype' p6 S'vfat' p7 sS'isMounted' p8 I1 sS'fnames' p9 (dp10 <failed> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any ideas! I don't know what else to do :)
