Hi, Pat !
Yep, everything is going well now !
.. of course :-)
Sorry, for troubles,
but the error messages wasn't familiar for me ..
.. usually it will be call "install images didn't match with repository"
.. i've had to use --delete-option for the rsync of the 6rolling-repo :-)
Anyway ..
Thanks for the great work & cheers

I've just fired off a pxe boot using the images from

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/
and I was able to get past the partitioning menu and complete the
installation.
This is a bit odd.
The exception you've listed below is some of the code added in 6.3.
Can I have you re-download the pxe initrd.img along and try again?

Hi !
Is this right, that a test installation only works with DVD/Networkimages ?
i want to install via pxe, but after partitioning,
the installations breaks with e.g.
anaconda exception report
Traceback /tmp/updates/yuminstall.py
line 596 in readRepoConfig
if not BETANAG and ("rawhide" in repo.id or development" in repo.id
and
NameError : global name 'BETANAG' is not defined
Or is my installation enviroment a buggy ?
Thanks & cheers

Scientific Linux 6.3 Beta 1 i386/x86_64 July 16, 2012
These are notes of the "Alpha/Beta" releases for Scientific Linux 6.3 .
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS NOT FOR PRODUCTION.
This is for testing. Please report back any issues to
scientific-linux-de...@listserv.fnal.gov .
There should be no expectation that a "yum" upgrade to SL 6.3 will work.
A new install is the recommended method to move from
"sl6rolling"(this alpha release) and the released "SL 6.3".
Items marked with * are changes from the last release

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RPMS ADDED IN THIS RELEASE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*rpmfusion-free-release-6-1.noarch.rpm
*yum-conf-rpmfusion-6-0.1.noarch.rpm
- Simplified access to this repository was requested by the community
The 'non-free' repository is not included. It is the responsibility
of the end user to verify their compliance with the licensing of the
rpms in the rpmfusion repository.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAJOR CHANGES TUV MADE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*libreoffice
- openoffice.org has been replaced with libreoffice. The libreoffice
packages 'provide' the right packages to maintain compatibility
for kickstart and yum installs.
*anaconda
- Anaconda now alerts users to the beta status of a release when it
is tagged appropriately. Upstream has added this functionality and
we are taking advantage of it for the beta cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSSIBLE UPGRADE PROBLEMS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*libproxy-mozjs
- Requires an old version of xulrunner, upstream bug 797779.
We have removed it from SL6.3. When an updated package is released
we will build it. If you need this package you can pull it from 6.2
*libvirt-qpid
- Requires an old version of qpid-cpp-client, upstream bug 839006
We have removed it from SL6.3. When an updated package is released
we will build it. If you need this package you can pull it from 6.2
*sanlock
- Upstream has removed the i686 sanlock packages, we have done the
same.
If upstream returns i686 support, we will add those packages.
*tboot
*pacemaker
*pacemaker-libs
*pacemaker-libs-devel
- Upstream only features these packages on x86_64, previously they were
in both arches on SL6. In SL6.3 we match upstream and have removed
the packages from the i686 tree. If upstream returns i686 support,
we will add those packages.

The yuminstall.py that was used for this install is not the updated one
from 6.3 . We are verifying that the next release (beta 2) will have the
newer yuminstall.py .
Thanks for reporting this issue .
