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?
...alex...
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!
Well, I solved it :)
Apparently, my hdlist and hdlist2 files where recorded with 0-length on
the CD. I don't know why. I remade everything from scratch and now
everything works fine :)
Thanks a lot fellows!
