The error message comes with a 'reboot' button, if you hit this, there is a 2nd error message: You have specified that the group 'base' should be installed. This group does not exist. Would you like to continue or abort the installation?' This error obviously pops up due to the fact that there is a group listed for install in the kickstart, which the installer does not know about due to the fact that the group information isn't able to be read from the repo. I've googled around and seems like a common error - but none of these seems to apply in our case. Any ideas on this one?

Re: 'Unable to read group information from repositories' - bare metal install 761645 Jan 29, 2012 1:31 PM (in response to Jeff_J) Hi Jeff, It looks like an issue with the repository setup . Can you please check if the 'repodata/comps-ovs-core.xml' file exists under Server directory when you browse it ?? If that's there, please check whether the group 'Base' exists or not.. Thanks, Sachin. 1 person found this helpful Like Show 0 Likes(0) Act
