Hi!

I am trying to upgrade the OS of a server. I am
encountering some problems. I need some advice. Can somebody help me out?

Details of the machine are:

Machine: Compaq Alpha Server DS20E Dual Processor (666 MHz each)
RAM: 2048 MB (1024 x 2)
Total HDD capacity: 100 GB

SRM Firmware Version: 6.4 (I upgraded it from Ver 5.7 a day back)
Current OS: Red Hat Linux 6.2 (Zoot)
New OS: Red Hat Linux 7.2 (Enigma)

I have downloaded the images of the disks from:
ftp://ftp2.compaq.com/pub/linux/RedHat/7.2-alpha/release-isos/

However, when I try to boot using the first disk of the new OS from SRM
console using the command

P00>> boot dqa0 -flags 0

I get into a problem. The X server is started followed by an error message 
saying

Traceback (innermost last)
File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 477, in ?
from splashcreen import splashScreenShow
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/splashscreen.py", line 21, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk-py", line 2160 def set_ma

SyntaxError: invalid syntax.
install exited abnormally.

After this,  all the processes are terminated. All the file systems are also 
unmounted.

What can I do do get rid of this problem?

Sincerely,
Aninda
