Addendum: This is right at the "Post Install" screen. IDE, not SCSI. Michael *** Bug 11449 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Tried this on a separate drive as well, a 540MB instead of the 1.4GB I was originally trying. No go either. There is a NIC in the machine, but this has been attempted both with it in and out. Doesn't work for any type of install either Custom/Gnome/KDE/Server etc. All produce the same message after copying packages under different graphic modes. When rebooted, gives the "Missing operating System" error. Boot from floopy works fine, can mount the partition, but when trying to install LILO no lilo.conf file exists. Attempted to create one, but Lilo then will still not install, can't remember that error though. I believe this is a duplicate of bug# 10967 If you switch to the second VC using the key sequence ALT-CNTL-F2, and then do the command ls /mnt/sysimage/etc do you see the inittab file? Also, it would be good to know if the 'setup' package is installed. I have experienced a similar failure. I need to have a boot setup that allows me to load RH6.2 from a server computer (using DHCP for dynamic assignment initially) exposing /mnt/cdrom as an NFS directory using kickstart. I get as far as getting a temp IP address, mounting the CD, and then anaconda barfs with: 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 584, in __call__ todo.getCompsList () File "/tmp/updates/todo.py", line 475, in getCompsList self.updateInstClassComps() File "/tmp/updates/todo.py", line 491, in updateInstClassComps self.comps[n].select(1) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 172, in __getitem__ return self.compsDict[key] KeyError: Workstation My packages section of my .ks file is %packages @ Workstation This happens on a: MB = DFI K6BV3+ CPU = AMD K6 450 ETH0,1 = DLINK PCI MEM = 32MB DIMM HD = WD 4 GB BIO = AWARD 4.51PG MDM = USR COURIER VEVERYTHING Please help! m_j_conroy, does a package group list of: %packages @ Base @ X Window System @ GNOME Workstation work any better for you ...? ---------------- michael, unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce this behavior on any of our closest test lab hardware (ie pentium 200 Mhz systems w/similar but not exact disks) ... :( do you have the same problem when using any other video card w/that same machine ...? |
