Description of problem:FTP-style network install on LAN results in python2.2: rpmte.c:518 rpmteColorDS: Assertion 'ix < Count' failed. This is after FS formatting while lokong at RPMs on CD#1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: completely reporoducible - even with different choices up to time of error (package selection, disk layout) Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot pc from floppy, use FTP install, use driver floppy for NIC 2.configure 192.168 network and specify FTP server 3.disk layout, s/w set (tried both workstation or desktop) Actual results: install exited abnormally -- received signal 6. Alternate VT says finally "* moving (1) to step installpackages" Expected results: install should proceed through package installation Additional info:
How did you create the file layout on the ftp server which is to act as the installation source? It looks like a data corruption error. FTP installs are known to work.
data corruption confirmed - thanks description at http://www.notatla.demon.co.uk/MISC/netinstall_prob.txt
I'm glad to hear you were able to resolve the problem.
