Have you tried re-registering/subscribing your RHEL installation?

[mohammedqayyum]

Yeah,still I'm getting the same ERROR unable to read system id.

Well, fullinstall unlike our XI installer, does not do its own RHEL dependency checks, so this likely is from yum. Can you perform yum commands or do you normally enter something else for a satellite server? you can try:

Code: Select all

yum check-update
yum update

[mohammedqayyum]

I updated YUM,even though still getting the same ERROR unable to read system id.

[sreinhardt]

Can you please give us the output of "yum check-update" Also are you using satalite servers or other internal package\license management? Just an fyi I propped up a RHEL 6.3 x86_64 system last night to make sure this was not a global OS issue, and had no issues installing, and also verified that this is likely failing on the yum steps listed in the install.

[mohammedqayyum]

yum check-update

Thanks for the output, this does not answer my question of if you are using strictly the standard repos or internal\satellite servers. Also what method of registration did you use, subscription-manager or rhn_register?(I might have missed this if it was answered above)

[mohammedqayyum]

I'm using subscription-manager-gui to register and standard repos are internal server.

[sreinhardt]

OK, I think I found where you are getting hung up. Comment out line 395 in libinstall.sh. It should look like:

Code: Select all

	valid_rhel

change it to:

Code: Select all

#	valid_rhel

You may still have issues with getting some of the packages from optional channels and outside repos if you only use internal resources, but we can deal with that as it comes along.
