OK, let me preface this by pointing out that my "hardware" choice is
odd and I'm not sure if it should be expected to work, BUT I have
successfully installed RedHat 6.2 from the install cd on it, and
thought it might be a reasonable thing to try.
System: Powerbook G3 under Virtual PC 3
Memory: 76Mb
Ethernet: emulates DEC 21041 under IRQ 11
Disk: 1.4G
Partition: 100MB swap, rest /
I got all the way through all the question answering and everything
until I hit the "Installing Packages" screen then the installer froze
before even printing the name of the first package. I still have a
usable prompt on console 2, and there is a python error dump on
console 1, but it has partially scrolled off and console 1 doesn't
have pageup capability. Errors follow:
comp.addPackage(packages[l])
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 46, in __getitem__
return self.packages[item]
KeyError: kernel
Exception in thread Thread-3:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/lib/python1.5/threading.py", line 376, in __bootstrap
self.run()
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress.py", line 16, in run
rc = self.todo.doInstall ()
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1074, in doInstall
self.getCompsList()
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 467, in getCompsList
self.comps = self.method.readComps(self.hdList)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/image.py", line 8, in readComps
return ComponentSet(self.tree + '/RedGat/base/comps', hdlist)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 326, in __init__
self.readCompsFile(file, self.packages)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 299, in readCompsFile
comp.addPackage(packages[l])
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 46, in __getitem__

KeyError: kernel
I hope this ends un being useful, if there is anything I should try
running on console 2 let me know.
