I am doing a kickstart install for CentOS 6.0 (x86_64 install) The error on screen is "fatal error occurred when install glibc package. Could indicate error with install media" When I looked at the /mnt/sysimage/root/install.log file I see Installing glibc-2.12.-1.7.el6.i686 error unpacking of archive failed on file /lib/ld-2.12.so;4e66d2ec cpio read failed bad file descriptor. (Note I am installing x86-64 but the error is on i686 file) This happens (same error) on 2 machines. AMD box with two 2T hard disks in each box for software RAID. I am using a PXE boot environment. Same environment I use for 5.6 (works fine). My kickstart file has the "repo" line commented out, so my local repo is not interfering. These CentOS 6 files were copied direct from DVD back on Jul 3. How do I find out what is wrong with the file and correct it? These are my files: ls -l /home/silentm/pxe-install/CentOS-6-x86_64/Packages/glibc-* -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 4466416 Jul 3 00:10 /home/silentm/pxe-install/CentOS-6-x86_64/Packages/glibc-2.12-1.7.el6.i686.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 3920028 Jul 3 00:17 /home/silentm/pxe-install/CentOS-6-x86_64/Packages/glibc-2.12-1.7.el6.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 14815992 Jul 3 00:17 /home/silentm/pxe-install/CentOS-6-x86_64/Packages/glibc-common-2.12-1.7.el6.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 983372 Jul 3 00:10 /home/silentm/pxe-install/CentOS-6-x86_64/Packages/glibc-devel-2.12-1.7.el6.i686.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 982972 Jul 3 00:17 /home/silentm/pxe-install/CentOS-6-x86_64/Packages/glibc-devel-2.12-1.7.el6.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 605080 Jul 3 00:17 /home/silentm/pxe-install/CentOS-6-x86_64/Packages/glibc-headers-2.12-1.7.el6.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 1416456 Jul 3 00:17 /home/silentm/pxe-install/CentOS-6-x86_64/Packages/glibc-static-2.12-1.7.el6.x86_64.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 157512 Jul 3 00:17 /home/silentm/pxe-install/CentOS-6-x86_64/Packages/glibc-utils-2.12-1.7.el6.x86_64.rpm Thanks, Jerry

If you just specify packages by name, it may.>How do I find out what is wrong with the file and correct it?Without your ks files, hard to speculate. Anaconda has been broken for a while now if you choose a cdrom install and point to the updates repo, you need to point to os and updates on a remote server. At least I have reproduced this with 100% certainty at multiple locations... Post a cleaned up ks to troubleshoot further. jlc
