Hi Eduardo,
I had a similar issue (anaconda was complaining about not being a
supported platform), but the core problem was that when i built the CD
images, some of the RPMS were left out...most importantly, "kernel".
Have you made sure that your CDs contain a proper "kernel" rpm?

I think Alex has a good solution. The "not
grpset.hdrlist.has_key("kernel")" test looks to be a sanity check. "If
you don't have a kernel how can I run after installing?" Later on in the
code another check is made for SMP or big memory kernels etc. Perhaps
the "these people" comment pertains to people changing the list of
packages and make a mistake? Several other options are you have a media
problem or hardware problem. Did you perform a media check before
installing? If the hdrlist file is on a bad spot on the CD that could
cause you problems. If you burned the CDR on a higher speed CD drive
and tried to use it on a lower speed drive that could cause you
problems. I am not clear now on how you are using VMWare after
rereading your original post. Could VMWare be at issue? I don't know,
but if you continue to have problems you may have to remove it from the
equation just to see one way or another.
Please post back when you find the solution.

Hi Greg,
Perhaps you are unsupported and they don't want you to be unhappy
with something that will not work. The python code from packages.py
is listed below. It looks like you need to have a stand alone
machine without VMWare. For example, look at this bug
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=112555. Anaconda
works fine without VMWare installed when trying to reproduce the error.

# this is a crappy hack, but I don't want bug reports from these
people
if (iutil.getArch() == "i386") and (not
grpset.hdrlist.has_key("kernel")):
intf.messageWindow(_("Error"),
_("You are trying to install on a machine "
"which isn't supported by this release of "
"%s.") %(productName,),
type="custom", custom_icon="error",
custom_buttons=[_("_Exit")])
sys.exit(0)
id.grpset = grpset
The trouble is, I installed Fedora Core II perfectly using VMWare.
I just tested my ISO natively, and the error continues. Any more tips?
The python code (If I'm not mistaken) states that if I'm running
i386 and there is no kernel for it, then displays the error. Is this
right? If it is, what am I doing wrong here?
Cheers!
