CentOS-4.3 Install Fails

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I’m using the same CD’s that I’ve used to install CentOS on my other systems.

After the first failure I had the installation verify the install media just in case.  It passed.

I’ve tried the default install (used for all previous installs) and the i586 option (after googling). They both fail in the same way.

Here is a transcript of what is output to the screen:

 

Running anaconda, the CentOS-4 i386 system installer – please wait…

Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>

Could not find platform independent libraries <exec_prefix>

Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:exec_prefix]

‘import site’ failed ; use –v for traceback

Traceback (most recent call last):

you may safely reboot your system

 

Motherboard    Intel                  D945GCL

CPU                Intel                  Pentium-4 631

RAM               Aeneon            512 Mb 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DIMM - DDR2 667

PATA Disk      IBM                 40 Gb PATA Disk (DeskStar) – System Disk

SATA Disk      Hitachi              80 Gb SATA Disk (DeskStar) – Backup Disk

Disk Carrier     Vantec             MRK-200ST-BK

Case                Antec               TX1050B

 

The system disk (IBM 40Gb DeskStar) was used in a previous system ad has CentOS-4.3 loaded on it.

It won’t boot in graphical mode due to an X-Windows failure. So I decided to re-install.

Any insight would be appreciated.
