I've seen this bug posted before, but some have been closed for lack of input or there have been no responses for over a month. This problem is likely related to the other anaconda install problems, but my error message was a little different than the others. I'm running into a problem on a BigSur A3 stepping Bios 59. I'm getting the following: Traceback(innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 423, in ? intf.run(todo, test=test) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1002, in run rc = apply(step[1](), step[2]) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1457, in doInstall self.method.filesDone() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/image.py", line 76, in filesDone isys.ejectCdrom(self.device) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py," line 323, in ejectCdrom _isys.ejectcdrom(fd) SystemError : (5, 'Input/output error') The install bombs after this and I'm not able to boot even though the kernel images are on the /boot/efi partition. I ran into this problem also using a BigSur A1 stepping bios 39, but after I retried the install a couple of times, it worked fine.
I'm surprised it got as far as it did - ia64 is not a supported platform for 6.2.
Sorry I wasn't more specific....I'm running the IA64 test distro you guys have...
