Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 75246
Installation /mnt/sysimage/var/tmp/zlib-1.1.4-4.i386.rpm (cannot be opened)
Last modified: 2015-01-07 19:00:55 EST
/mnt/sysimage/var/tmp/zlib-1.1.4-4.i386.rpm (cannot be opened) due to missing file, bad package, bad media. I have run MD5SUM, (checksum ok); and checked the media (cd's)during the install process, (all ok), then scanned for HD bad blocks during the install, the hard disk is ok. I've tried it several times and it fails each time on this file open error.
This is a (possibly) an anaconda problem.
Same bug as described in 74718. See my comment in 74718.
I've tried all of the suggestions in +Same bug as described in 74718. +See my comment in 74718. but I am still unable to get it to work.
Oddly enough... my machine also has 2 cd drives. One is a cd-r the other a cd- rw. I started the install using the other drive (cd-r) and the install seems to be working fine...I have completed 380 packages and it's still going......maybe it will finish.
We got a winner! ...possibly. So maybe its the use of a CD-RW drive to read and install Linux 8.0 (Anaconda) that is the issue. Some other users have mentioned that a CD-RW is in play (in this bug or 74718). I have a simple CD-R drive that I will swap out with the CD-RW and try the installation with it. Yesterday, I tried de-tuning my machine and our error occurred just the same. In Bios I reverted to 2x AGP, changed all IDE to PIO Mode 2 and disabled Ultra-DMA. It had no effect, error occurred exactly the same. Also, I tried my custom install choices BUT eliminated the zlib library. The system froze as soon as the install preparation was completed and it was to begin reading install files, but I am not sure it was because of removing zlib from my custom install. Removing zlib also meant 'ignoring dependencies' so that is another variation created.
Working on a fix... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 75377 ***
