Question What are the likely causes of this Unhandled Anaconda Exception?


First of all, I apologize if this is not the right section to posy my question and request the moderators to move it to right section.

For the last couple of days, I'm trying to do a PXE installation of CentOS 6.5(64-bit) on my local network. I set up FTP, TFTP(including DHCP) on Windows XP to feed the necessary installation media(images) required for the installation of CentOS 6.5. The system on which I want to install CentOS is a HP Proliant Server G5. The server boots by picking up the necessary images from TFTP setup(on Windows XP) and I'm giving my local FTP(Windows XP) ip address as the installation source, the installation retrieving the install.img successfully and goes upto the drives & bootloader setup without any problem. But as soon as I format(/boot, / & swap) drives and setup bootloader, I'm continuously getting the following Unhandled Anaconda Exception Error. No matter what changes I make(tried to do manual & semi-automative or kickstart installation), I'm getting the same error. I've included the first few lines of text of the error below in Codes(the full error report is pretty long). Here is the link for a tar.gz file that Anaconda installer saved, which contains few text files with fully detailed error report). Don't worry the attached file doesn't contain any malicious files, they are just bunch of text files(error reports). I've been searching on internet for a cause or solution for this particular error, but I couldn't find anything. If some one could throw some light on this issue, it would be great.

Code:
anaconda 13.21.215 exception report
Traceback (most recent call first):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 1126, in _hdr_retrieve
    self.size = int(s)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '20131129120954.000'

Local variables in innermost frame:
s: 20131129120954.000
buf: 213 20131129120954.000

self: <open file '/tmp/.treeinfo', mode 'wb' at 0x7f63a5d5f1e0>
My server(HP Proliant G5 server) on which I'm trying to do this installation has the following configuration. Processor: Intel Xeon 2.3Ghz, RAM:4GB, HDD: Seagate SATA HDDs(250 & 160GB, trying to perform the installation on 250GB HDD), Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet.

The exception report is telling you exactly where the source-line is. Go find it.

It seems that someone is trying to convert a floating-point string value to an integer. You must convert it to a float, then cast that to an integer, making certain that the size of an integer is large enough to accommodate any value you will encounter.
