Description of problem: I have tested the installation for 32-bit and EM64T and both failed right after the page where I was asked to input password for root. An error message would pop up to ask user to abort. The full message is as followed: Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated. Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: Anaconda-desktop-200609271715.x86_64 I tested on DG965MQ and DQ965CO. I tried all this hard driver combination on DG965MQ: Native <RAID>, Native <IDE>, Native <AHCI> (with and without pci=nommconf). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Install RH5-BETA-Refreshen on DG965MQ and DQ965CO Steps to Reproduce: 1.start Install from CDROM 2.Error will happen during stage2, while confirming root password. 3. Actual results: Error seen: Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly generated. Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: Anaconda-desktop-200609271715.x86_64 Expected results: A seemless install with no errors. Additional info:
Just checked on 945GTPLR using 32-bit CD. I got same issue as the 965 series machines.
The name of the distro version is RH5-Beta-Refresh, not "Refreshen", sorry , my bad! :o}
The CD we are using is RHEL5-Client-20060927.0-i386-disc1-ftp.iso
