RHEL 5.0 64bit installs without a hitch on the exact same configuration. Same issue here, worked around by disabling the tape drive. For me, installer continues to fail even after removing tape drives. This will be fixed in the next major release of anaconda in RHEL. |
Description of problem: Installer fails immediately after skipping cd check. Error is: Running anaconda, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server system installer - please wait... Probing for video card: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL Attempting to start native X server Waiting for X server to start...log located in /tmp/ramfs/X.log 1...2...3...4...5... X server started successfully. Starting graphical installation... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 900, in ? iutil.makeDriveDeviceNodes() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iutil.py", line 264, in makeDriveDeviceNodes isys.makeDevInode(device, "/dev/%s" % (device,)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 422, in makeDevInode _isys.mkdevinode(name, fn) SystemError: (2, 'No such file or directory') install exited abnormally [1/1] sending termination signals...done sending kill signals...done disabling swap... unmounting filesystems... /mnt/runtime done disabling /dev/loop0 /proc/bus/usb done /proc done /devpts done /sys done /tmp/ramfs done /mnt/source done /selinux done you may safely reboot your system I get the same error when choosing text install (sans the x server stuff, of course). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): n/a How reproducible: Every time on this machine (HP Proliant ML350). Install has worked fine on other servers, including an HP Proliant DL380. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from RHEL 5.1 disc (64 or 32 -bit). Disc known to work on other computers, before and after this attempt, passes checksums. 2. Skip cd check. 3. Error. Actual results: Installer fails. Expected results: Installer installs. Additional info: Installer runs fine on an HP Proliant DL380
