anaconda debug logs

Description of problem:
I downloaded RHEL6.0-20100603.1-Workstation-x86_64-DVD1.iso and burned it to a DVD.  I'm trying to install from it and it's failed twice with the error:
               Error
  Unable to read group information from repositories.  This
  is a problem with the generation of your install tree.
         [ Exit installer]  [ Retry ]

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.0 20100603.1 Workstation x86_64
anaconda 13.21.50

How reproducible:
every time (?)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. burn RHEL6.0-20100603.1-Workstation-x86_64-DVD1.iso to DVD
2. boot from DVD and start install
  
Actual results:
anaconda stops with above error when it tries to read packages from DVD

Expected results:
successful installation of RHEL 6.0

Comment 1 Jeff Bastian 2010-06-09 19:25:30 UTC
I installed RHEL 6.0 20100603.1 over http instead of from the DVD and that worked fine, so apparently it's only the repos on the DVD ISO that are corrupt.

(I had to use an updates.img from bug 602351 comment 8 to fix another bug with partitioning.)

Please try this updates.img to see if it resolves your problem.

Comment 5 Jeff Bastian 2010-06-09 20:33:24 UTC
The updates.img from comment 2 fixed the problem!  It's installing from the DVD now.

And thank you for merging it with the updates.img from bug 602351 comment 8; I went to merge them myself but I noticed it was already done.
