    Network installation

    I'm having trouble setting up a remote installation of RHEL 5.5. The exact setup had worked on 5.3, for the most part i just replaced the installation folder to 5.5. It seems to grab the kickstart file but then it just craps out. Has anyone seen this error before?

    Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to missing repodata directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correct generated. Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: anaconda-based-20003220802.x86_64. Please verify its path and try again.


    Also I do have the repodata directory in the installation data path (/Server/repodata) and the repomd.xml is in there.

    What repo are you attempting to access, one that you set up on a private network? If so, look at the apache (or ftp or whatever) log files on the server hosting the installation files, to get an idea. It is probably not finding the repodata/ directory where it expects it, or it cannot read it due to permissions, or something like that.
