That's a python script crash - not much more can be said. You have the scripts there - did it set your timezone?

So the script was one on your install cd setting things like timezone from your information? The other things you gave it were keyboard, & perhaps locale. If they aren't wildly off, it should be harmless. But whatever it was going to do next isn't done.

first of all thanks for reply business kit , can u please elaborate more in detail , and please tell me whats going wrong in my kickstart file

business_kid · 05-26-2010, 03:27 AM

Kickstart file? Must have misread things. I thought you were installing.

Anyhow, what I know is that some python script is crashing, and your scripts seem to be named
shutil.py - perhaps shell utilities
timezone.py - obviously a pacman clone ;-)
anaconda/backend.py - Backend sounds like a sweepup script, and anaconda is the redhat/fedora installer.

It looks to me like a tidy up session after an install has gone belly up. Reboot the thing and see what you have got.

after rebooting grub error 15 shows

business_kid · 05-28-2010, 03:30 AM

IIRC, grub is installed but set up as the last stage of the process. You can probably boot with the install cd, hit Ctrl_Alt_F2 or one of the others and you get a prompt. mount your root drive on /mnt, mount your boot drive on that and run chroot /mnt and edit your menu.lst (LST in smalls)
