Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 22945
bug in the installation procedure
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:30:24 EDT
I was installing RedHat linux 7.0 on my new PC, an intel celeron 667MHz on an ASUS CUV4X-M mother board with 64Mb of RAM, and an ATI Xpert 32Mb graphic adapter. The graphic installation procedure crash after the mouse probing, giving back "receiving signal 11" as error message. The textual installation procedure, obtained by typing "text" at the prompt "boot" crash with the following message: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run rc = apply (step[1](), step[2]) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 66, in __call__ height = height, help = "lang") File "/usr/lib/python1.5/snack.py", line 502, in ListboxChoiceWindow l.setCurrent (default) File "/usr/lib/python1.5/snack.py", line 90, in setCurrent self.w.listboxSetCurrent(self.item2key[item]) AttributeError: listboxSetCurrent Local variables in innermost frame: self: <snack.Listbox instance at 820b9f0> item: 2 ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed> Thank in advance for the attention.

Strange. Were you installing from the cd-rom? When exactly did the text mode install fail?
You may be having hardware problems. Make sure the memory and video card are seated properly in the motherboard. There's a chance that the cd could be damaged. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you. What puzzles me is that the installer is crashing before it really even does anything. There's no reason for the code to be failing there. It's the signal 11 in the graphical mode that makes me think this...that is frequently indicative of hardware problems somewhere in the system.
Are you still having problems with installing Red Hat Linux 7?
