What pack are you using, and is it up to date?
Have you added any mods or modified current mods in the pack?

Try redownloading the mod pack, it should help with any corrupted files that you may have gotten the first time you downloaded the pack.

This is the first time I have installed ftb on this OS. Trying to install Mindcrack and no I have not added or installed any mods

Delete the mod pack folder and try redownloading it.

It still crashes when i do that. It happens on a fresh startup

I had been having trouble with it as well. Things weren't working right in my world so I decided to re-install everything but now with new everything it still wont even let me into a new world.

Alright, I've decided to look into this and reverse-engineered the relevant redpower parts (shh, don't tell Eloraam). What I think is happening is that redpower logic/wiring/whatever is loading before redpower base (not core. base. Not sure what the difference is, but hey). They then try to access something from redpower base, but fail because that hasn't been loaded yet.

I'm not fully sure how forge load order works, but I think the mcmod.info file sorts out the dependencies. In this case all mod parts (including base, but except core) have core listed as its parent mod. A quick fix which should work would be to set base as the parent mod, forcing it to load first.

To do this, go into the mods folder and in all of the following: redpowercompat.zip, redpowercore.zip, redpowerdigital.zip and redpowermechanical.zip edit the mcmod.info file to exactly the text below:

I don't know if this will work, but I certainly hope so.

EDIT: You should also post a bug report to Eloraam. This is almost certainly a bug. If the solution works, post a link to this thread too, it may save her some time debugging.
