Comment 5 Michael Fulbright 2000-10-02 22:25:31 UTC
Your indexhtml file may be corrupted -  try comparing it to a version on a
different mirror than where you got your current version to see if something is
wrong.

Hard drive installs have been tested and we have not seen this issue.

Comment 6 Need Real Name 2000-10-03 04:44:02 UTC
I received the same error during my install. I got my indexhtml file off the 
redhat ftp site. I replaced it, and all the other packages, after I first 
received the error, and still no luck.

Comment 7 Need Real Name 2000-10-03 12:35:44 UTC
I also originally downloaded indexhtml from the redhat site.  Downloading
indexhtml from 2 or 3 other sites and running cksum, I find that the indexhtml I
have from redhat is the same as the one on the mirrors.

Comment 8 William Sanchez 2000-10-04 09:37:14 UTC
I believe I have a solve.  I redownloaded RH7 with a RH6.1 install, and met 
with success.   I suspect that forcing the FTP client into binary/image mode 
(TYPE I) for all files would solve it.  I'll investigate further.

Comment 10 Michael Fulbright 2000-10-04 15:56:38 UTC
Please retry downloading the image and make sure to use BINARY mode with your
ftp client.

Comment 42 Need Real Name 2000-10-23 15:38:20 UTC
I have tried all these fixes and I am still getting the same error message during the install.  Does the update patch file have to be the same name?  that is 
the only thing I can think of.  I also tried to go back and re-install my previous RH6.2 (that was working great) and now I get the same error message 
trying to do this.  Any Suggestions????

Comment 43 Need Real Name 2000-10-25 18:35:24 UTC
It happens to me even after I use the update img.

Comment 45 Daniel 2000-10-26 15:33:50 UTC
I receive this bug while i try to mount my Windows disk during the instalation,
but later when I resign with this option - error was not appear.
I dont know but try this !

Comment 46 Calin Mihai 2000-10-27 00:23:23 UTC
The installation is still not working after applying the bug fix RHBA-2000:084-
04: the installer is asking for the update disk, is reading the update, but 
fails at the same point as before, with the same error message.
Is there a fix for this bug after all ?

Comment 47 Need Real Name 2000-10-27 03:58:00 UTC
I experience the same installation errors after the update.  If this fix truly 
recognizes corrupt installation files during installation, then wouldn't I at 
least get a different error message.  This still appears to be a widespread 
problem for anyone who has downloaded an image and is performing a hard drive 
installation.

Comment 48 Daniel 2000-10-27 17:35:49 UTC
OK let's try this (I do it - and it works):
1. Format your linux native or delete your native and create a new (with 
Partition Magic etc.)
2. During the instalation do not mount your Windows partition (or others - you 
can do it later in file : fstab)

And that's all - but I dont guarantee success in all events.
Try this - maybe it will be works.

Comment 90 Need Real Name 2000-12-01 00:56:33 UTC
What should I do if my redHat7 files are on a ext2 file system? I have to mount 
this drive,no other choice. There is not enough free space to copy RedHat7 on my 
existing linux partition. What should I do... Is there a real fix that will 
allow me to install from a ext2 file system? Come on msf stop to 
write "marked as a duplicate of this bug" and try to give to users a real fix. 
Thx redHat team.

Comment 91 Need Real Name 2000-12-10 10:02:52 UTC
Status Closed?  I cannot download the anaconda fix, but IE5.5 reports it cannot 
find the server and CuteFTP reports it can't connect.  Even so, the 'fix' would 
only clarify my problem at most.

I have tried the solution suggested by msf of downloading with type 
set to binary (I) an have downloaded ALL the RPMS/base files again, and I still 
get the same error.  

As for not mounting my windows partition; I have no linux partition to put 
Redhat on, so I must point to one of my windows partitions to install.

I had exactly the same error when I tried to install Redhat6.2.  

Can this be reopened and a solution found please.

Comment 93 obitus 2000-12-23 01:31:46 UTC
Yes I agree I have also done what suggested and no help. What kinda of 
suggestion is "Released errata  RHBA-2000:084-02, which has a clearer dialog 
message when this problem occurs to help diagnose it better." Then closing the 
bug?? This isn't a viable solution

Comment 94 Need Real Name 2000-12-28 00:06:30 UTC
OK, add me to the list. I too, couldn't get the "fix" to work. I have tried to 
install from the CD, boot from disc, install boot "linux updates etc"...still 
getting the same araconda error messages. The araconda PATCH/fix DOESN'T WORK.  
Now, do I totally uninstall WinMe, and then attempt to reinstall, than 
partition the drive again, theN attempt to reinstall linux again....please tell 
me if this is going to work, before I go thru all this trouble? My eyeballs are 
falling out of my head after 8 hours of screwing around with this. Should I 
just trash WinMe ,  install Linux and say screw it? But I wanted a dual booting 
computer !!!!!! I sure as heck have plenty of drive space. This is a brand new 
computer! {{{{grrrr}}}} help

Comment 95 Need Real Name 2000-12-28 21:28:06 UTC
The Errata does not work.  Binary downloading in FTP doesn't work.  This is not 
the same bug as the "windows" partition problem. Why is this bug closed?

Comment 96 Need Real Name 2001-01-03 03:17:02 UTC
The fix doesn't work, i can't afford downloading again with a 44.000 bps 
connection, and, anyway, many guys here say it won't work with re-download 
either.

It is rather irritating to see that this bug is marked as CLOSED, specially if 
you consider the large amount of people it has affected.

Please note that this is not a marginal problem you can ignore: one of the 
installation methods is disabled, and all you say is 'this fix will help you 
make a better diagnose'. ?do i have to be a master programmer in order to 
instal an OS?. ?what's the use of bugzilla, then?

I go through package selection and all that fine; I get the "Loopback: creating
loopback filesystem on /dev/hdb5..." window; it does its thing and eventually
goes away, replaced by a "Formatting: formatting / filesystem" window, which
lasts about 5-10 seconds or so, give or take...before I get a popup with the
contents attached below.  I can go no farther, and the install fails and I'm
done.
 
 Now, before you go and hit  Ctrl-V and  paste what seems to have become 
the standard, no-fault reply, read on.  

I've read almost everything there is  to read about this; I've tried the update 
img.  No dice. You've mentioned corrupt HD install files over and  over 
again.  Well,  I'm doing an FTP install, and have tried a variety of mirrors. 
 
Still no dice.  I've remade all the boot disks, drivers disk, and  updates disk 
several times. Carefully, methodically.

Still no dice.   And I'm apparently not the only one who still can't overcome
the problem, despite no small amount of trying. 

My suggestion is that there really IS something more going on here than 
bad/corrupt FTP'ing.  The update isn't working for everyone. Something 
ELSE is happening. 

Now, what is it? 

Please,  toss this around with your folks a bit more. 

Thanks for your time.

Oh oh oh!!!

Can I join the list too, please????

Same problem here.  Tried everything, nothing works.  Maybe Linux isn't as good 
as Windows NT anyway...... ;o) (maybe that will convince them to fix it)

Comment 101 Need Real Name 2001-01-27 00:38:10 UTC
tried doing a linux ks=floppy and found this problem
used the update image and problem is STILL THERE!

Comment 102 Need Real Name 2001-02-02 12:05:31 UTC
Damn, this is such crap. At least it's possible to INSTALL windows98. Linux used to be known for stability and quick bugfixes, but now it seems they think more about getting quick cash here at RedHat. They release a system not thoroughly tested and then refuse to fix the bugs, now how fucked up is that?!?

Ah, i have the same problem if you didn't already figure that one out: can't install, now i get a little different error message with the update disk, but that's it.

Comment 103 Need Real Name 2001-02-08 00:31:53 UTC
Apparently I have the same problem. The installation stopped 5 or 10 sec after 
the message of formating the disk. I tried the official RH7 box, ftp and buring 
CD, or ft installation. I also called and tried the update disks, using several 
methods. The RH7 is apparently a piece of junk. 

I then gave up this shity RH7 and downloaded Corel Linux 1.2 and burned the CD. 
The whole installation was so automatic and I did not have any problem with it. 
Apparently the people in Redhat need to work harder on this.

I tried the fix and it does not work. why can't REDHAT put the correct fix out 
there to download. I bought the box set and I am not getting good telephone 
support. I am not very happy with this.

I have to join the queue as well... the update patch doesn't work at all and 
the same error message is returned each time, I have downloaded the RPMS 
several times over now (in forced BINARY mode) and it makes no difference....

Comment 118 Brent Fox 2001-04-17 16:29:44 UTC
We have changed the hard drive installation method to only install from the cd
iso images stored on the hard drive.  This will make checking the md5sum of the
isos very easy, so the user can verify that nothing went wrong during the
download.  No matter what kind of error checking we try to put it, we can't
account for a corrupted download, which I believe is the source of the problem.
 Resolving as 'Current Release' since 7.1 was released yesterday.

This is an error while installing

Comment 130 Joao 2002-02-13 22:16:51 UTC
I have so many times tried to install RH 7 on our machine at work a gateway 
model e-4200 and keep getting the anaconda error.  I have tried so many red hat 
help forums but nobody seems to have a handle on it.  RH salesperson suggestion 
is to call in for help pay $30 for the service ( since my warranty has 
expired ). I might as well purchase red hat 7.2 but what for, i am afraid i may 
not be able to install it on our machine.  The other suggestion is that the CDs 
may be corrupted.  Thanks alot, don't you guys test this stuff?

I had the same problem (install exited abnormally -- received signal 11) and 
after I checked my RAM and removed the faulty one the installation went 
smoothly.
