Hello,

Ben from germany here...
I've got a problem by installing my customized iso image. After the partition part, the follow error occurs:

"Unable to read group information from repositories.
This is a problem with the generation of your install tree."


I started creating a customized dvd image.
So I customized some file (isolinux, kickstart... background image) und after saving my
.iso file and boot from them, I get the error...

I searched for the reason, why this error happen and found out:

If I take a originally dvd from CentOS - everything works very fine. OK, thats normal....

So , second step: if I take a originally dvd from CentOS and just customize the splash.jpg (nothing else!) and
save this .iso as a new file - the error happen...
--> nothing had been changed exept the background image...

My question: is there a hash-value what is asked by the installation-program/anaconda?
Wha dont work the new built image? (Originally iso file saved as a new iso file...)
What could be the reason? How can I fix it?

Thank you very much for any help

Regards

Thank you for starting your own thread this time; however, I am not sure how much support we can offer. I expect you are correct about the hash value unique to the media, but don't know how that is handled. This forum is about CentOS and not about forking your own custom distro. Moving to the thread to Social. Try searching the forum and CentOS:

rebuild puias scientific site:centos.org

Did you find an answer to your problem.

I think I have the same issue using Magic Iso which has worked fine for me on CentOS 5 but CentOS 6 ISO images are proving to be a problem for me

I get the same error message after adding a kickstart file
