I always get this error after the screen says "Reading Packages"I already download the anaconda image files and do whatever suggested there but still no luck.. :( Please help. Any suggestion or reply would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.. The error says : 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 82389c8> 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>
It would help to have step by step instructions on how to reproduce this error.
ok , here's the step by step moves before i got the error. I boot with floopy (boot.img) came up with menu says "Welcome to RedHat 7 " , hit enter . Choose english as language and keyboard layout. choose hard drive (the packages), choose workstation installation, automatic partitioning ( choose continue) , entering the hostname, configure mouse, configure time, setting root password, adding user (just add one), and the screen say reading packages after a while another screen came up say exception error. and below is the description : 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 821ffb0> 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> and i have 3 options there : "OK" . "SAVE" . "DEBUG" when i choose ok , the screen say ": install exited abnormally -- received signal 9 sending termination signal... done sending kill signal.. done disabling swap.. unmounting filesystems : /mnt/runtime/usr /mnt/runtime /dev/pts /proc you may reboot your sytem safely now. i already tried this several times but it always end up the same, always error after reading the packages. i tried to use the update of anaconda (update-disk- 20001009.img) but it doesn't help much. Additional information, the RPMS and base files are located in drive C : with windows 98 (FAT32), and trying to install the RedHat Linux on drive D : Please help... I'm stuck as hell :( Thanks, Regards Hansen
to msf I finally figured out why i keep getting the error. the culprit was the indexhtml.rpm files. i think it was somewhat corrupted, i downloaded it again ( force using binary mode) and the installation goes smooth. Thank for the support Hansen
Thanks for the feedback - glad it worked! We've seen this error alot seems like there is a mirror or something with corrupted files?
