I downloaded the RH6.1 RPMS and base directory on my /dev/hda1 fat32 win98 partition. On trying to install/upgrade 6.0 to 6.1, the installer (boot-RHEA:0.44 and update-RHEA:0.45) recognizes the first fat32 partition only and not the other ext2 and fat32 partitions after that. Then it asks me for the update disk which I insert and then I get this message: File "tmp/bin/anaconda.real", line 121, in ? from todo import ToDo File "tmp/updates/todo.py", line 9, in ? import _balkan ImportError: /tmp/updates/_balkanmodule.so: cannot read file data: No such file or directory install exited abnormally..... When I don't give the linux updates option at boot: prompt, I still don't get all the partitions on the HD and am not able to upgrade (it gives the message that there are no existing linux partitions on the HD). So I try to install and then it shows all the partitions on the HD! On proceeding with the install, I get this message after entering all the password and user information etc.: 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 "/mnt/redhat/comps/install/6.1/i386/misc/src/trees/hdimage/usr/lib/python1. 5/site-packages/textw/packages.py", line 10, in __call__ On Debugging I get, > /tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/comps.py(50)__init__() -> name = h[rpm.RPMTAG_NAME] I have a 10 GB HD with a fat32 partition followed by ext2, swap, fat32, fat32, ext2 partitions. Thank you, Susheel
This is a known issue with 6.1 which is resolved in the latest installer (release 6.2)
