Trying to install Red Hat Linux 7.0, booting from the bootnet floppies, connecting to a local FTP site. The installer finds the site, loads anaconda, and after asking about password setup (MD5, Kerberos, etc.), a message comes up saying an exception has occured. The following traceback is a result of that. 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 33, in __call__ File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 539, in getCompsList File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/urlinstall.py", line 27, in readComps File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 459, in __init__ File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 428, in readCompsFile File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 101, in __getitem__ KeyError: MAKEDEV Local variables in innermost frame: self: <comps.HeaderList instance at 82484a8> item: MAKEDEV ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iurlinstall UrlInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'baseUrl' p6 S'ftp://ftp-cd:%66%74%70%2d%63% 64.com/storage/CD/RedHat7Disk1' sbsS'initlevel' p7 I3 sS'skipLilo' p8 I0 sS'progressWindow' p9 NsS'expert' p10 I0 sS'ddruidReadOnly' p11 I0 sS'bootdisk' p12 I0 sS'language' p13 (itodo Language (dp14 S'abbrevMap' p15 (dp16 S'es_ES' p17 S'Spanish' p18 sS'tr_TR' p19 S'Turkish' p20 sS'sr_YU' p21 S'Serbian' p22 sS'de_DE' p23 S'German' p24 sS'sk_SK' p25 S'Slovak' p26 sS'ru_RU.KOI8-R' p27 S'Russian' p28 sS'is_IS' p29 S'Icelandic' p30 sS'no_NO' p31 S'Norwegian' p32 sS'sv_SE' p33 S'Swedish' p34 sS'en_US' p35 S'English' p36 sS'it_IT' p37 S'Italian' p38 sS'da_DK' p39 S'Danish' p40 sS'cs_CZ' p41 S'Czech' p42 sS'uk_UA.KOI8-U' p43 S'Ukrainian' p44 sS'hu_HU' p45 S'Hungarian' p46 sS'fr_FR' p47 S'French' p48 sS'sl_SI' p49 S'Slovenian' p50 sS'ro_RO' p51 S'Romanian' p52 ssS'font' p53 (dp54 g38 S'lat0-sun16' sg22 S'cyr-sun16' sg28 S'cyr-sun16' sg36 S'None' sg26 S'lat2-sun16' sg32 S'lat0-sun16' sg34 S'lat0-sun16' sg48 S'None' sg50 S'lat2-sun16' sg52 S'lat2-sun16' sg24 S'None' sg20 S'lat5-sun16' sg46 S'lat2-sun16' sg18 S'None' sg44 S'cyr-sun16' sg42 S'lat2-sun16' sg40 S'lat0-sun16' sg30 S'lat0-sun16' ssS'langs' p55 (dp56 g38 g37 sg22 g21 sg28 g27 sg36 g35 sg26 g25 sg32 g31 sg34 g33 sg48 g47 sg50 g49 sg52 g51 sg24 g23 sg20 g19 sg46 g45 sg18 g17 sg44 g43 sg42 g41 sg40 g39 sg30 g29 ssS'info' p57 (dp58 S'LANG' p59 g35 ssS'map' p60 (dp61 g38 S'iso15' sg22 S'iso05' sg28 S'koi8-r' sg36 S'None' sg26 S'iso02' sg32 S'iso15' sg34 S'iso15' sg48 S'None' sg50 S'iso02' sg52 S'iso02' sg24 S'None' sg20 S'iso09' sg46 S'iso02' sg18 S'None' sg44 S'koi8-u' sg42 S'iso02' sg40 S'iso15' sg30 S'iso15' ssS'lang' p62 g35 sbsS'fstab' p63 NsS'lilo' p64 (ililo LiloConfiguration (dp65 S'liloDevice' p66 S'mbr' p67 sS'initrdsMade' p68 (dsS'edd' p69 I0 sS'default' p70 S'linux' p71 sS'liloImages' p72 (dp73 S'hda1' p74 (g71 I2 tssS'liloLinear' p75 I1 sS'liloAppend' p76 NsbsS'comps' p77 NsS'network' p78 (itodo Network (dp79 S'netdevices' p80 (dp81 S'eth0' p82 (itodo NetworkDevice (dp83 g57 (dp84 S'ONBOOT' p85 S'yes' sS'IPADDR' p86 S'192.168.0.5' sS'BOOTPROTO' p87 S'static' sS'NETMASK' p88 S'255.255.255.0' sS'DEVICE' p89 g82 ssbssS'gateway' p90 S'192.168.0.1' sS'secondaryNS' p91 S'' sS'hostname' p92 S'listserv.irobotics.com' sS'primaryNS' p93 S'192.168.0.1' sS'domains' p94 (lp95 S'irobotics.com' asS'isConfigured' p96 I1 sS'readData' p97 I1 sS'ternaryNS' p98 S'' sbsS'upgrade' p99 I0 sS'instClass' p100 (icustom InstallClass (dp101 S'rootPasswordCrypted' p102 I0 sS'nameserver' p103 S'' sS'x' NsS'rootPassword' p104 NsS'makeBootdisk' p105 I0 sS'installType' p106 NsS'postScript' p107 NsS'earlySwapOn' p108 I0 sS'networkDevice' p109 NsS'clearText' p110 Nsg64 (g67 I1 S'' tsg13 NsS'name' p111 S'' sS'postInChroot' p112 I0 sS'pixmap' p113 S'' sS'partitions' p114 (lsS'clearType' p115 Nsg90 S'' sS'mouse' p116 NsS'packages' p117 NsS'timezone' p118 NsS'zeroMbr' p119 I0 sS'keyboard' p120 NsS'groups' p121 NsS'bootProto' p122 NsS'netmask' p123 S'' sS'raidList' p124 (lsS'skipSteps' p125 (dsS'auth' p126 (I1 I1 I0 S'' I0 S'' I0 I0 S'' S'' I0 S'' S'' S'' I0 S'' S'' tsg92 Nsg63 (lsS'showgroups' p127 NsS'ip' p128 S'' sS'defaultRunlevel' p129 NsS'desktop' p130 S'' sS'clearPartText' p131 NsS'clearParts' p132 I0 sbsS'rootpassword' p133 NsS'extraModules' p134 (lp135 sg116 (imouse Mouse p136 (dp137 S'device' p138 S'psaux' p139 sg57 (dp140 S'XMOUSETYPE' p141 S'IMPS/2' p142 sS'FULLNAME' p143 S'Microsoft -

There was a network error - try another time or perhaps another ftp site.
It is a local network, no one else has access. I've tried both NFS and FTP, and am able to transfer the entire image from the server to the same box under the RedHat 6.2 that is presently installed on it. In short - I don't believe it to be a network error.
Did you copy both CD's to the FTP server? We have done extensive testing of the FTP process (we do them internally all the time in testing the installer) and the only way I've seen this traceback occur when there are missing or corrupted RPMS on the FTP server.
Yes - I know the directory name is a little misleading in that regard, but both CDs were copied into the directory. If I had any idea what file may be corrupt, I could check that, but I'm not grokking that from the debug information.
Its failing on the MAKEDEV package.
I tried re-copying from the CD and it crashed at exactly the same place. Downloaded MAKEDEV-3.06-5.i386.rpm from ftp.redhat.com/redhat/redhat- 7.0/i386/en/RedHat/RPMS and copied that in, and it crashed at exactly the same place.
Try a different site. There was corruption on the site you used, or in transfer.
Redownloaded from ftp.redhat.com. Source CD is an original RedHat CD. md5sum reports the same sum on both files (753885be4efd834b88f637c4aec4eb87). Still getting the same error. Able to read the file over NFS from another machine, get same md5sum. Is this the correct md5sum? If it is, then there's still a problem.
If you run the command rpm -K <packagename> it will tell you if the package is ok or not.
Closing due to inactivity.
