Hi
 
Trying to install RedHat 6.1 via HD to a Siemens PCD-4H with Intel 486-33 Processor.
It has 3 SCSI HD #0 345Meg #1 245Meg #3 525Meg
 
I have following partitions:-
hda1   33 Meg Dos
hda5 295 Meg Linux core/
hdb1  245 Meg Linux Swap
hdc1  525 Meg Dos with REDHAT/BASE and REDHAT/RPMS directories.
 
I boot from a stiffy and everything goes well
Welcome
Installation type
hostname
mouse
device for mouse
timezone select
passwords
add user
 
Until
Reading package information ...
a lot of HD drive activity and then the following "Exception Occurred"
 
Traceback (innermost last):
    File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", ine 225, in ?  int.run(todo, test = test)
    File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 1000, in run rc = apply (steo[1](), step[2])
    File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-pacages/text.py", line 468, in __call__  todo.getCompsList ()
    File "tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/todo.py", line 942, in getCompsList () self.getHeaderList()
    File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/todo.py", line 930, in getHeaderList self.hdList = self.method.readHeaders()
    File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/harddrive.py", line 46, in readHeaders return HeaderList(hl)
    File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/comps.py", line 50, in __init__ name = h[rpm.RPMTAG_NAME]
TypeError: unsubsciptable object
 
IT then give a choice to say OK or to debug.
if you say OK then system halts and if you goto debug it puts you into what seems be a script file.
 
I do not now how to remidy this if somebody could please lend me a hand.
 
Thanks in advance Barry
