While installing Redhat Linux 7.0 on my computer: relevant specs: HD: maxtor 30,7GB disk (ATA100) I have ATA100 disabled and it's now connected to my IDE controller. Mobo: Asus A7V Proc: AMD TB 850 Mouse: Logitec wheelmouse optical While installing, i have no trouble, but Linux does not recognize my mouse (it's probing my usb ports, but can't find a mouse - got a timeout error for i guess 10-15 times, it does not matter if i connect it to my usb port or to my ps/2 port. Text mode gives the same result.) Then, Redhat starts the installation and i can go on. After setting up partitions, users and selecting boot partitions, it gives me this crashdump, and asks to report it. Here goes: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/harddrive.py", line 43, 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: indexhtml Local variables in innermost frame: self: <comps.HeaderList instance at 824b938> item: indexhtml ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iharddrive HardDriveInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'fstype' p6 S'vfat' p7 sS'isMounted' p8 I1 sS'fnames' p9 (dp10 <failed> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope this is enough info, if not, ask for more, I'll be glad to help.
I just found out there was another bug report with the same prob. I guess i should download everything again. Maybe you can tell me how I can check which of my files are different? some list to check how big all files should be or something like that? like the dos 'comp' command.
I manually checked all files and compared them to the ones on the ftp I downloaded them from - ALL 866 of those RPMS +some base - and it was excactly the same. what do i do?
I see I had compared this one with the wrong bug.. This bug is the same as in 18019, but in that one, there is not yet a final solution to this problem. I will try the binary download first, but maybe someone here should check that bug, since no final solution has been found.
I tried and failed using the 'forced binary' transfer of indexhtml...
I don't know how, but everytime I download indexhtml, it gives me a file of 17.031 bytes, while the server says it's 16.967 .. I think those other blokes are having the same prob, but didn't find out about the size diffs. Anyway, after tweaking my ftpclient for an hour or 2, I finally managed to download it as it should be. I'm gonna try it now... NB: the binary/ascii mode gave no differences. With both modi I got a 17.031 size file!!
I would recommend trying a different source for the file.
aaah i finally managed to get my inet back again (arggh windows.. and i didnt yet have the neccesary linux howto's, so i couldnt set it up.. anyway, after doing this I managed to install linux. maybe it is of some help to other people to know you can solve this. I agree it's not really a linux bug, but i see lots of people are having this problem. thanks for your time. SilentStorm
