After reporting this bug, I installed the update 20001009.img. I got slightly farther along installation, then stopped with an internal error with the following bug message: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 507, in __call__ File "/tmp/updates/todo.py", line 1491, in doInstall self.fstab.mountFilesystems (self.instPath) File "/tmp/updates/fstab.py", line 705, in mountFilesystems isys.losetup("/tmp/loop1", "/mnt/loophost/redhat.img") File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 46, in losetup targ = os.open(file, mode) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/loophost/redhat.img' Local variables in innermost frame: file: /mnt/loophost/redhat.img mode: 2 readonly: 0 device: /tmp/loop1 ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iharddrive HardDriveInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'fstype' p6 S'vfat' p7 sS'isMounted' p8 I0 sS'fnames' p9 (dp10 <failed>
This sounds like your hard drive install image is corrupt or incomplete. Make sure you have downloaded all the required files in a binary safe fashion. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18019 ***
I doubt it's a corrupt file -- I downloaded the entire set of RPM and base files twice, from two different sources. You still have a bug, although I worked around it by downloading RH6.2, together with its updates, and installed it, and then upgraded with 7.0 -- with the same "corrupt" files. That worked.
