Hey. I run autoboot.bat in the dosutils folder of the i386 release of redhat 6.1. When I run the dos installer (gui), I set up everything as far as user privelages, when it lists this in an exception window: traceback (innermost, last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 225, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 1000, in run rc= apply(step[1](), step[2]) File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 468, in __call__ todo.getcompslist() File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/todo.py", line 942, in getcompslist self.getheaderlist() File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/todo.py", line 930, in get headerlist self.hdlist = self.method.readheaders() File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/harddrive.py", line 46, in readheaders return HeaderList(hl) File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/comps.py", line 50, in __init__ name = h[rpm.rpmtag_name] typeError: unsubscribable object I copied this out by hand, and so there might be some spelling mistakes. I tried to start the install by floppy disk using the errata .img updates, but my computer won't boot to the floppies. (although it will boot to other floppies). I dont know what to do, any help would be greatly appreciated. email imcmeans
This bug is more than likely a result of having a file in the /RedHat/RPMS directory which is not actually an *.rpm file. If you copied the files from a cdrom, then the file causing the problem is one called "TRANS.TBL" Run "ls | grep -v rpm" in the /RedHat/RPMS directory in order to get a list of the non-RPM files which are causing the problem.
