Description of problem:
When installing RH7.2 on an HP Itanium (IA64), I get 'TypeError: comp file 
version 3 or 4 expected' after entering the user information. A dialog box 
announces that the installation routine is 'reading package information', and 
then generates the above message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from Ls-120 boot disk
2. Choose options as appropriate (makes no difference to the outcome)
3. Click 'Next' after selecting 'Authentication Configuration'

Crash dump from anaconda
Comment 2 Michael Fulbright 2002-04-15 20:59:24 UTC 
Is this a CD or NFS based install?
Comment 3 cameron.rooke 2002-04-16 12:17:13 UTC 
The error occurs with CD or ftp install. I never tried NFS.
Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2002-07-01 23:52:20 UTC 
What is the first line of your comps file?  The only way this usually happens is
on installations from corrupt media or incomplete downloads
Comment 5 cameron.rooke 2002-07-02 12:38:33 UTC 
The first line contains only the number '4'. The second line is blank and the 
third line contains '1 Base {'. I have downloaded the distribution two or 
three times with the same results.

Comment 7 luca 2002-07-20 14:16:23 UTC 
I have encoutered the same problem when installing from  CD on my notebook
I've downloaded the iso from www.linuxISO.it and no error occurred during 
download.
Comment 8 Jeremy Katz 2003-01-02 21:06:56 UTC 
The comps file has changed completely in Red Hat Linux 8.0, making this a non-issue
