Could you include the complete traceback message? There's some context missing here which would be nice to have. The complete traceback:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Running anaconda - please wait...
Traceback (innermost last):

Hope this helps.
Hmm, if you boot normally (without the kickstart file) and on tty2 run the following, what do you get? PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda/isys:/usr/lib/anaconda/balkan python -c "import isys; print isys.hardDriveDict ().keys()" We installed the machine from CD, so that we are able to continue testing. But when I run the command on this installed machine, this is the result. # PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda/isys:/usr/lib/anaconda/balkan python -c "import isys; print isys.hardDriveDict ().keys()" Traceback (innermost last): File "<string>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named isys But we do think that we have found the error. It seems that we had a path mismatch between the RH71 and RH72 installation. After repairing the path settings and commenting out the doLiloCheck we where able to install. I'm not sure if this is what you wanted me to do. If you like, I will boot the machine from CD and then run the command again. Yeah, mismatched paths would definitely be a good cause for this one |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011126 Netscape6/6.2.1 Description of problem: When we do a kickstart over the network the installer stops with a traceback of /usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py line 242 which says device = drives[0], index error This is after the load of the diskdrivers. I did repair the 'doLiloCheck (self, id, ..)' but this doesn't seem to help. I did remove the complete doLiloCheck from kickstart.py and recompiled it. Then I did put this new kickstart.pyc in our stage2.img, netstg1.img and hdstg1.img (base directory). All to no revail, the error stays the same. What am I missing here?? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to kickstart a machine over the net using eth1. 2. 3. Actual Results: The machine stops installing and a python (kickstart.py) traceback is displayed. Teh next message is that it is safe to turn my computer off. Expected Results: An installed machine with RH-7.2 Additional info: Our net-ks.cfg file ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #### Be sure the kickstart is INTENDED (not by mistake) # # Switched off due to bugs in /usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py # # TonK @ 19-12-2001 10:45 # # lilocheck ### Language Specification lang en_US ### Network Configuration network --bootproto dhcp ### Source File Location ##NET-1-BEGIN nfs --server 192.87.56.65 --dir /ndist/kickstart/cdrom72 ##NET-1-END ### Ethernet Device Configuration #device ethernet wd --opts "io=0x280, irq=3" ### Keyboard Configuration ### Will get set to 'us' by default ### if nothing specified in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard keyboard us ### Partitioning Information ### Whether to clear out the Master Boot Record (yes/no) ### Which partitions to format (--linux/--all) ### --linux -
