When installing packages it got as far as setup-2.3.2-1 the procedure failed with the following error. The "Save to floppy" did not sae anything to the floppy, so I've had to retype everything hopefully it is all correct. Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py",line 19, in run rc=self.todo.doInstall() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py, line 1522, in doInstall self.instCallback,p) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py",line 1266,in instCallback self.rpmFD=os.open(fn,os.O_RDONLY) OSError:[Errno 2] No such file or directory:'/mnt/source/RedHatRPMS/ssetup-2.3.2-1.noarch.rpm'
What type of install was this? ftp, cdrom, hard drive, nfs, ? It looks like the package was missing from whatever medium you installed from in which case anaconda does fail. also, this is an installer bug... reassigning
I experienced this as well, during an upgrade from cdrom. I've performed checksums on the iso image used and the checksum comes out correctly. The package setup-2.3.2-1.noarch.rpm does reside in the Redhat/RPMS directory on the cdrom, but I am unable to verify it's contents since I have not been able to upgrade to rpm 4.0. The package does show up as being 13990 bytes long and has a md5 checksum of bf4acccb8924c750af1500bbfb267abb.
I experienced the same thing on the FTP based install from a server on the same network. As it turns out, the crash occurs when the system wants disk-2. The network based install never asks for a second disk, just crashes. I threw a CD- ROM on the system, and the install made it to the same place, then promted me for the second CD. After inserting it, the install continued, and the OS is now working fine.
I also experienced the same thing on an FTP install from ftp.redhat.com. Didn't matter what type of install I did, workstation, custom, it always stopped with that error. (I am wondering how so many other people were able to get it to run when I can't get past this step.) I am a newbie at this so I had no idea what to do. :( Any suggestions?
Same here. I thought it was my promise controller or something, but now I'm glad everyone is having the same problem. I guess its just a bad .iso image, so RedHat, please fix it. I'll be looking for the fixed cd image, otherwise I'll just get mandrake or something. Mandrake actually works. Email me if there's a simple solution or if there's a new iso that works. I'm trying to install from nothing. It seemed like after the packages installed that the error occured, so I figured it pretty much finished, but it won't even boot to that partition, so I need this to be fixed. It was after the 2nd CD, and not between the two. So if you know how you got yours to finish installing, please email me at hattenator, or if there's a new iso.
I also received this when I tried to do a fresh install from CDrom.
This is most certainly related to some combination of the CD media and the CDROM device causing read errors. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18031 ***
