Issue

  • When installing hosts from Red Hat Satellite 6 getting an error while it is installing packages.
    The first error that pops up is:

    A Fatal error occurred when installing the <rpm.hdr object at 0x7f8f40c4bd90> package. This could indicate errors when reading the installation media.  Installation cannot continue.

    When click on Exit Installer the next screen shows that package installation was at 30%, it says packages complete are 50 of 295. Further down on this screen it shows the message:
