Topic: anaconda installation problem - sorry again

[hdmueller]

I am still getting the old reported error during 5.6 installation. Anaconda error in line 603 / 890 / 500 - and then shuttig down installation. Searched the bulletin board and found no answer which works.

I am running 2x sme5.5 servers - very nice. Tried to isntall sme5.6 on P120/16mbram - ok -  ram too small - does not work. Now tried to install on abit mb VA6 / 533 celeron / 64mbram / ata66, with latest updated bios. Same anaconda error messages. Installation via http from a iso-busted iso file; md5 sum of iso file is ok. On the p120 and celeron533 mb sme5.5 installs fine.

What could be the problem ? Somebody can tell me how to get an error report (?), and somebody willing to analyze the err report ?

========
prompt 0
implicit 0
timeout 0
default accept

label accept

  append initrd=initrd.img lang= ks=cdrom:/images/ks_stub.cfg class=kickstart text devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192

"The missing kickstart file problemI can be fixed quite easily - if you copy the from the directory on the 5.6 CD to the boot disk (either 5.12 or 5.6 version). You also need to edit the SYSLINUX.CFG file on the boot disk and replace the parameter with "
