Description khafagy 1999-10-14 10:35:16 UTC
Hello,

I am installing redhat6.1 from harddrive and I am using the
boot.img (local boot diskette) for booting, I have the
following error:

- In the Reading package information phase during the
installation (after specifying upgrade installation class)
I got the following "exception error" which can not be
ignored:

Trace back (innermost last):

file "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 225 in ?
intforun (todo, test=test)

file "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 1000,

file "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/isys.py", line 9
in umount return _isys.umount return _isys.umount (what)
system error : (16, device or resource busy)


Note: the graphical installation does not work only text
mode.

Please send me an answer if there is error in the
installation files or the installation process.

Waiting for your fedback..

Regards,

I have the same exact bug.  It works perfectly until it says "reading
packages" then boom, Exception Occurs.

Traceback (innermost last)

File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 225, in ?

File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages.todo.py"

(several more lines like the one above appear)

TypeError: unsubscriptable object

I tried the updated install but still no go.
I am also trying to install from my HD.
And for some reason nomatter what I type at the boot: prompt
it always loads the graphical interface.

There is reason to believe this error is the result of having corrupt or
incomplete RPM files in the source directory.  Please see bug #6438 for details.
