Topic: Trouble creating ISO with ver 5.6

[SloopJohnB]

While using the North Carolina mirror, I downloaded several times over hi-speed Cable modem (using mozzila 7.1, then using IE6, then using WSFTP7.0 in binary mode) and burned the ISO image using the CDWRITER program in Linux 9.0 (CDROAST?), then using Nero 6.0. Each time I boot to the CDROM on a new AMD1800 system with 256mb ram and always get the same error message;

 

An unhandled exception has occurred…Traceback innermost last,

File: /usr/bin/anaconda line 634 in intf.run

File /usr/bin/anaconda/textw/mitel_text.py line 537 in ___call___

db=rpm.opendb

rpm error : cannot open

 

 

Are there any steps I could be making in the creation of the CD??

Thanx SloopJohnB

Just a guess, do you have any strange partitions on the harddrive ??

Have you try using Roxio. After you open it up then go to File - Record CD from CD image and the browse where the file is to create the image.

Although I have not found the problem, I have solved the issue by using the 6.03 version. I believe it was due to the fact that the drive was already partitioned with the Redhat 9.0 disk. I was told by one of you great people that this could have been the problem, so I downloaded the latest version, and it worked the first time using Nero 6.0 with default settings.

Thanx again!!

I was installing e-smith v5.6 on a machine that had previously had Red Hat 9 installed. There were 10 partitions altogether on that hard drive.

Initially it didn't work - I kept getting the same error as SloopJohnB. I also re-downloaded the ISO image (and double-checked the md5 hash) to no avail.

After reading this message I cleared the partition table and the install worked fine. Seems that it is a problem with the existing partitions, but one that may be corrected in the upcoming v6 release, according to SloopJohnB.
