Sounds like none of the repos you've configured have valid group data.  Can you attach logs from the install (as text/plain individually)?  Can you check the URL you've provided for valid group metadata?

Comment 3 Richard Marko 2012-10-31 19:27:57 UTC
Yes, you are right. packaging.log contains errors about repositories.

Would be nice if it fails a bit earlier.

Yeah, we might be able to do something about that earlier.  Leaving it in the general pool in case anybody else wants to take this on.
