The error-file produced during installation.
This looks like an incorrect ISO but Im not 100% sure Did you edit RedHat/base/comps? The beginning should be like:
---
4
1 Base {
[ ...]
---
The installer might crash with, for example, with DOS carriage return/line feed characters.
I agree - please make sure that the comps file was not changed when you copied it. I downloaded the iso using ftp from www.sunet.se (using Linux) and burned it directly. I haven't edit it at all.
It worked when I installed from the same cds on another machine. (from an IDE-cdromreader, no SCSI-card, and different graphics card etc)
> Did you edit RedHat/base/comps? The beginning should be like:
no, and the beginning av that file on the cd looks like that...
Btw is there a md5sum from windows? (im stuck in that os right now)
Ah... the Base/Comps was chaged during the copy.... then that is the problem. |
Installation on PII-400 with 2 disk drives, one used for windows, SCSI-card with som cd and scanner. I dowloaded the iso-version of redhat 7. burned om cd. Created a boot disk from the cd. Copied the /RedHat/* stuff onto the windows disk drive. (due to other errors, see 17840) And started to install using the boot disk. I've tried both, giving and not giving the win-disk a mount point and both custom install and workstation install.
