I tried upgrading from 6.1 to 6.2. It upgraded all the packages. After all the packages are upgraded, it threw a python error on the screen with options "OK" and "Debug". I wiped the hard disk out and went for a fresh install. It installed all the packages and threw the same error. Finally I installed Mandrake 7.0. My hardware AMD K7 550 Mhz First International SD11 motherboard http://www.fic.com.tw 20G IDE hard drive Toshiba DVD-ROM drive on IDE ATAPI interface 256M Ram Both Mandrake and Redhat 6.1 detected less memory than I have. I had to give append="mem=0x10000000" option to get the memory recognized. During the installation Redhat 6.2 insisted on turning the swap device. I have been using Redhat since 1995, and this is the first time I could not make the install work. on immediately.
I would need the python error output before being able to try to reproduce this bug.
Unfortunately I didn't note down all the output ( Too lazy to write down). To reproduce the error I have to disturb my existing installation which I am reluctant to. I am just curious to know if anybody with the same motherboard could install Redhat 6.2 successfully. Ramana
I believe this is the error: Exception Occured Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 342, In ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1165, in run rc = apply (step[1](), step[2]) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 702, in __call__ if todo.doInstall (): File "/tmp/updates/todo.py", line 1272, in doInstall self.setDefaultRunlevel () File "/tmp/updates/todo.py", line 952, in setDefaultRunlevel inittab = open (self.instPath + '/etc/inittab', 'r') IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/sysimage/etc/inittab' /---------\ /---------\ | OK | |Debug| \---------/ \---------/
I cannot seem to get a straight install from scratch raise this error before.
