"Exception Occurred" error
I'm having some installation troubles with RedHat 6.2. I've downloaded everything from the rpm and base directories for an installation from the harddrive. Everything was going well in the install until I came to this error (below). I've checked out the RedHat howto's and it just says to make sure only rpms are in the rpm directory, and those are the only files in there. I've tried everything, could it be a corrupt rpm file? Do you have any suggestions? I'll appreciate any feedback or help!
Thank you!

Hi,
I have also noticed this happen on a bad installation. Probably you should try to reinstall and see.

it is possible that your down load is bad or a corrupt rpm, but i got the exact same series of errors if i downloaded the individual files, or the iso image. basically the boot.img that ships on the 6.2 is bad, you will have to get another one, the most up to date and another update disk as well, then the install/upgrade should go fine. here is what i did and the errors went away:
goto http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/rh62-errata-bugfixes.html
the april 19th, and 12th entries on that page tell you what to do to fix the problem.
download the update-disk-20000407.img and
boot-20000407.img files from:
ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/images/i386/
do the dd of=/dev/fd0 if=boot-20000407.img thing for each img to get two floppies one with each image.
reboot with the boot-20000407.img floppy in the drive, at the boot: prompt, type linux updates, it will ask you for the second floppy a little latter in the install.... everything worked fine for me after that.
mail me directly if you need more help.
i know its just a 'comment' but the accepted answer is useless, this one actually fixes the problem, i just did it myself.
