Installation Routine Dies Early
Last modified: 2015-01-07 18:39:45 EST
Dear Redhat, hi. I just tried upgrading my Redhat 5.2 machine to Redhat 6.1. I received the following error: Reading Package Information: Exception Occured Traceback (innermost last): File: "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 225, in ? intf, run(todo, test=test) File "../../../RedHat/instimage/usr/lib/python1.5/ site-packages/textpy", line 1000 in run rc = apply(step[1](), step[2]) File "../../../RedHat/instimage/usr/lib/python1.5/ site-packages/textpy", line 251 in __call__ install exited abnormally sending termination signals..done I downloaded boot-RHEA-1999_044.img and booted off that. I received the exact same error when trying to upgrade. PLEASE HELP!! Some details on my machine follow, though I don't think they are relevant here: ASUS P2B-DS dual Pentium II Mother board Adaptec 7890 Ultra 2 Wide SCSI-3 controller Quantum Viking II 9.1GB Ultra 2 Wide SCSI-3, Matrox Millenium G200 8MB AGP Pioneer 32X SCSI CDROM Iomega Zip 100MB SCSI internal Intel EtherExpress Pro+ 10/100Mps ethernet card Creative Labs Soundblaster 64 Value Internal Jazz Drive -jonathan nagler
I need you to post the reminder of that error message that you are getting (you should be able to scroll down and see the reminder of it) The end part is actually the most important (as this is a traceback) and will tell me just what error you are receiving.
Here is the entire error message I got: Reading Package Information: Exception Occured Traceback (innermost last): File: "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 225, in ? intf, run(todo, test=test) File "../../../RedHat/instimage/usr/lib/python1.5/ site-packages/textpy", line 1000 in run rc = apply(step[1](), step[2]) File "../../../RedHat/instimage/usr/lib/python1.5/ site-packages/textpy", line 251 in __call__ todo.upgradeFindPackages(root) File "../../../RedHat/instimage/usr/lib/python1.5/ todo.py", line 1155 in upgradeFindPackages packages=rpm.findUpgradeSet (self.hdList.hdlist, self.instPath) rpm.error: error during upgrade check install exited abnormally sending termination signals..done
Sounds like the root partition did not get mounted and I would guess that you have something other than "default" as the mount options for your root partition and this is what is resulting in the failure. Please see bug #5768 for further details. Reopen this bug if this solution does not work for you.
