RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Please switch over to tty2, grab /tmp/anaconda.log, and attach it to this bug report.  Thanks.

I checked the full log, it appears the only failure starts with the None/.treeinfo stuff

Comment 9 Zachary Amsden 2010-06-08 00:19:57 UTC 
I get the same install failure with 20100607 DVD.  Raising to urgent; this is a RHEL DVD install failure which hasn't been fixed.
Comment 10 Zachary Amsden 2010-06-08 00:31:38 UTC 
I tried increasing guest memory to 768M and using the graphical installer.  This made no difference.  What's going on?

I'm doing nothing unusual during install, besides all the default selections, the only local settings are:

Timezone: Pacific/Honolulu
Root password: redhat
Comment 11 Chris Lumens 2010-06-08 13:39:05 UTC 
Memory shouldn't have anything to do with this.  I'll take a look later today.
Comment 12 Chris Lumens 2010-06-08 18:21:02 UTC 
This is because the format of the DVD is undetected (ID_FS_TYPE is not set in the udev structure), so anaconda cannot figure out what's a valid installation DVD and what's not.  This is likely due to a missing call to blkid in our udev rules file.
