i had similar error, but found an update, applied the update, and now i get this: 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/textw/packages_text.py", line 32, in __call__ File "/tmp/updates/todo.py", line 532, in getHeaderList self.hdList = self.method.readHeaders() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/harddrive.py", line 54, in readHeaders OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory This is frustrating the hell out of me, i've given up
This problem is caused by a corrupt hard drive install image. Make sure you have downloaded all required files in a binary safe fashion. The update disk cannot correct this particular form of defect. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18019 ***
I have redownloaded all of the linux files several different times. All producing a similar error with the redhat 7 install. I also reported that bug, i would add a reference to it, but i forgot the number. So i found this update on the redhat page. And now i have this error. Im sure after i'v downloaded 4 different times from 4 different servers so i've ruled out the possibility of it being a currupt HD image. I've also tried several different install methods, all getting same error.
Bug 20680 is my last reported one before the update
We have not been able to reproduce this issue when we have done a hard drive install. You may find better luck downloading ISO images and burning a CD, or perhaps purchasing a CD from many of the sources. Some are not very expensive at all.
