Hello everybody,

yes I did check the installation medium (dvd), so that's not the problem. My system only contains components which are accepted by the redhat hardware compatibiliy list. But anaconda fails, announcing: You are trying to install on a machne which isn't supported by this release of CentOS-3

The error message stems from this part of anaconda code in packages.py:

# this is a crappy hack, but I don't want bug reports from these people
if (iutil.getArch() == "i386") and (not grpset.hdrlist.has_key("kernel")):
    intf.messageWindow(_("Error"),
                       _("You are trying to install on a machine "
                         "which isn't supported by this release of "
                         "%s.") %(productName,),
                       type="custom", custom_icon="error",
                       custom_buttons=[_("_Exit")])
    sys.exit(0)

Is this as it should be????????????????? And what does it mean?

You were answered on irc - centos-3.1 does not support amd k6
