Can you attach your installation log for us to see? This should be a fairly early on error but may have some more verbose information.

To verify, is this a RHEL or oracle linux? In the case that this is RHEL, have you registered this installation with them, or what form of activation are you using for licensing and updates?

We are using RHEL, after installing RHEL we are registering it using the command "subscription-manager-gui".
subscription name Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, Self-support (1-2 sockets) (Up to 1 guest) and service level is "self support".

rhn_check is redhat's own bin to check registration. Are you sure this system is registered and subscribed?

It is strange that the "/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid" is not found... I am not sure what the issue is, but you may need to re-register:

BTW, what is the output of the following command?
