I saw this on the archive and thought it was relevant. Does anyone have a solution to shit?
http://www.redhat.com/mailing-lists/redhat-install-list/msg12995.html Hello All. I tried to install RHS 6.2 on a P4B with a Rage 128 Pro video board (a Jupiter board). (I have seen this problem already in the mailing list archive, but no clue about the origin of this problem). The installation crashes when anaconda tries to read package names from the /RedHat/base/comps file: Exception occured <removed many lines of dump> File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 299, in readCompsFile comp.addPackage (packages[l]) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 46, in __getitem__ return self.packages[item] keyError : basesystem Installation is done with a kickstart file, and no X support is installed. Does the 6.2 distribution provide support for installation on this hardware configuration ? If not, is there a P4 configuration (no X required, so basic VGA will do it) I can use with RHS 6.2 ? -----Original Message----- From: Arthur H.

It is backwards compatible with x86 platforms. Besides, the error doesnt look like it has anything to do with the type of processor.
