Created attachment 483460 [details] Error message Description of problem: Directory structure has been changed on SL-6.0 comparing to older releases, as a result code in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtinst/OSDistro.py is not finding the installation tree properly. New tree has no .tree file, no SL in directory path Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-virtinst-0.500.4-1.fc14.noarch Steps to Reproduce: On the virtual guest system run koan --server=cobbler_server --virt --system=test Actual results: Error message attached Expected results: Install virtual guest system running Scientific Linux 6.0 Additional info: Installation on physical system works in the same environment just fine. The problem was traced to file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtinst/OSDistro.py Quick and dirty fix was to replace 'SL' with 'Packages' (line 632) However this will/might break installation for older versions of SL or other distributions. The other possible solution would be to request the change in SL directory tree. I don't know if RH6 has similar issue.
According to this post http://listserv.fnal.gov/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind1103&L=scientific-linux-devel&T=0&P=6228 .tree file has been restored in SL6 repositories, which should make the problem go away and my 'quick and dirty' fix irrelevant. I'll check tomorrow if my local mirror got it, this bug report could be closed then. Thanks, Leon
Actually I can confirm that .treeinfo file is there now. By the way this is the correct file name (not .tree that I reported in original report). It is in directory ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.0/x86_64/os/ on the main server. As it is a hidden file, I was able to verify it by downloading with wget. I am closing this bug now.
Thanks for the report, and following up!
