Troubleshooting CentOS 7 Installation Error: Anaconda 21.48.22.93-1 Exception Report
When installing CentOS 7 on a physical server, you may encounter an error known as the Anaconda 21.48.22.93-1 exception report. This error can be quite frustrating, especially when you’re in the middle of setting up your server environment. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the steps to troubleshoot and resolve this error, ensuring a smooth CentOS 7 installation process.
Understanding the Error
Before we dive into the solution, it’s important to understand what this error is. The Anaconda 21.48.22.93-1 exception report is a bug that occurs during the installation of CentOS 7. It’s typically caused by a conflict between the installation software (Anaconda) and the server’s hardware or existing software configurations.
Step 1: Check Hardware Compatibility
The first step in troubleshooting this error is to ensure that your server’s hardware is compatible with CentOS 7. Check the official CentOS hardware compatibility list to confirm that your server’s hardware components are supported.
- CPU: Check the processor's compatibility.
- RAM: Ensure you have at least 2GB for a smooth installation.
- Storage: Verify that you have enough storage space for the installation.
- Network: Make sure your network card is compatible.
Step 2: Verify the Installation Media
Corrupted or incomplete installation media can often cause the Anaconda exception. Verify the integrity of your CentOS 7 ISO file by checking its SHA256 checksum against the official value provided on the CentOS website.

Step 3: Update BIOS/UEFI Firmware
Outdated BIOS or UEFI firmware can cause conflicts with the CentOS 7 installation. Check your server manufacturer’s website for any firmware updates and apply them before proceeding with the installation.
Step 4: Try Text-based Installation
If the error persists, try using the text-based installer instead of the graphical one. This can often bypass any issues related to graphics drivers or display settings.
