Please try to post the output of the exception, as that is the only way for us to accurately reproduce the problem you are seeing.
There is a pretty good chance that I know what is happening here. If you have both of the network cards connected to the network, then we have seen a problem which results in a python traceback. The best workaround that I can come up with is that you disconnect one of the NICs from the network while performing the installation. You should be able to still configure the card during the installation. After the installation is complete, reconnect the NIC and reboot the machine . . . networking should come up then. We should have to fix for this pretty soon.

If this is of interest, here is my system.. and my output of the exception: <SNIP> 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 "usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1252, in doInstall self.writeConfiguration () File "usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1065, in writeConfiguration () self.writeNetworkconfig () File "usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 531, in writeNetworkconfig ip = self.network.lookupHostname() File "usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 144, in lookupHostname in self.gateway) File "usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 230, in configNetDevice return _isys.confignetdevice(device, ip, netmask, gw) SystemError: (101, 'Nettverket er ikke tilgjengelig') </SNIP> Last message .. the SystemError, can be translated from norwegian to english with "The network is not reachable". Harware is: Compaq Deskpro Celeron 466 MHz, with 64MB ram SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio 3Com Etherlink 10/100 PCI For Complete PC Management and Intel(R) 810e Chipset Graphics Driver (DC133). (as further comments I can tell that my own personal computer made the installation fine with 6.1 and upgrading to 6.2.. I got a Celeron 500 with Accton EN1207d. else I got the same configuration of sound and graphics (got a fujitsu-siemens)). Any help in this? I will try the bootdisk I found a few minutes ago, and give it another shot (with the installation). Ronny.
Attempting to install v6.2 on Compaq Prolinea ML330 (brand new) with NC3163 NIC and are having the same problem as described in bug 10687 and 10730. I also have installed RHBA-2000:015-01 and RHBA-2000:010-01 but to no avail. The NIC is part of the the Server Feature card (includes SCSI port) so can not remove during installation. I would rather not go to v7. Stuck.
