Please do so. Just create a new attachment with the traceback. Created attachment 3840 [details]
kickstart traceback
I've included the contents of the dump file - you don't need to dd the whole disk for future reference: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run rc = apply (step[1](), step[2]) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 365, in __call__ todo.getCompsList () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 540, in getCompsList self.updateInstClassComps() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 575, in updateInstClassComps self.selectPackage(n) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 586, in selectPackage raise ValueError, str ValueError: package ispell is not available Local variables in innermost frame: package: ispell str: package ispell is not available self: <todo.ToDo instance at 82b3578> ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed> Is this a self-made CD? My guess this is a dupe of bug 18031. This was a iso-burned image, I'll see if I can whip up another CD and give it another shot...worst case I'll buy one. Failed once again. I downloaded a new .iso, burned it at 1x, verification came back with no errors, but anaconda still dies. Here's the latest dump: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run rc = apply (step[1](), step[2]) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 365, in __call__ todo.getCompsList () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 540, in getCompsList self.updateInstClassComps() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 575, in updateInstClassComps self.selectPackage(n) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 586, in selectPackage raise ValueError, str ValueError: package libgr-devel is not available Local variables in innermost frame: package: libgr-devel str: package libgr-devel is not available self: <todo.ToDo instance at 8275838> ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed> I just got my box set today, and tried with the actualy RH cd and same thing happens Could you give us step by step instructions on how to reproduce this problem? I copied the ks.cfg to a standard boot floopy, then boot: linux ks=floppy. Not sure what other info you need ? Please attach your kickstart file. Created attachment 5139 [details]
kickstart file
Passed to QA to reproduce. your kickstart file (I am guessing) was generated by mkkickstart ... or at least something similar was used to generate your package list, as you have packages in that list that are not available in Red Hat Linux 7 ... for example, ispell (as in your error above) is no longer available, similarly packages like libgr, libgr-devel, egce-c++, etcskel, etc. are not valid install package candidates ... Have you considered using package groupings ...? You can specify predefined groups of packages such as: %packages @Base @X Window System @GNOME Workstation to install useful sets of packages ... hope this helps ... thanks for your report! |
