When I try to install RedHat 7.0 with all packages via the Everything selection when selecting packages for a user choice installation I get the following errors after the partitions are formatted and the installation image is copied to the Harddrive Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438 in ? intf.run (todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run rc = apply(step[1](), step[2]) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py, line 507, in __call__ if todo.doInstall(): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1480, in doInst all if self.method.systemMounted (self.fstab, self.instPath, self.hdList.selcted ()): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/image.py, line 63, in systemMo unted isys.lochangefd('/tmo/loop", self.loopbackFile) File "isys.py", line 55, in lochangefd _isys.lochangefd(loop, targ) System Error: (22, 'Das Argument ist ungueltig') I don't get these errors when I choose the Workstation installation. I'm using a bootdisk from <http://sweb.uky.edu/~mabran3/linux/misc/> to install the system on my harddrive connected to Promise ATA 100 Controller on my Asus A7V mainboard.
This appears to be a problem with the boot disk you are using and the loopback filesystem we use to allow multi-CD installs. When you do a workstation install only the first CD is used, and the loopback filesystem is not a factor. One a Everything install, the loopback filesystem mechanism is used. The workaround is to just do Custom install, then pick all the components EXCEPT Everything. That will get most of the packages installed, then you can use gnorpm or the rpm command line to install anything else. Since this occurs with your custom bootdisk there really is no way to duplicate the problem here.
