The kickstart file for this install
This is the same ks file used for my initscripts bug and which I emailed to
Bill.
You're basically getting a sig11 when package installation starts. If this is reproducible on this machine, you might want to run memtest86+ to check the memory... Well, I _did_ do a manual gui install w/o problems. memtest has completed one pass without error. I booted into rescue mode (could we have a kickstart-style resuce mode?) and found the install log. There were three packages listed as installed. Not much of note. memtest has been running 14 hours and 18 minutes. No errors. I gave up on the unexciting memorytest and tried an fc3 kickstart. Failed too, looked like the same point. ks file available on request. Note: I'm using http installs; if you want to patch something bear that in mind and give me clear instructions about what goes where. I could try fc2 if you're interested. Might this be running out of memory? I tried a manual install of _everything_ on the same machine and that crashed similarly except that a. it did not automatically reboot b. It happened earlier. One of the VC displays showed Kernel Killer knocked off Anaconda. I suggest Anaconda be changed to check whether this might be likely and offer the possibility of using a swap file. It has got past disk formatting, so the swap file is feasible. We recommend using swap. If you continue and don't create a swap partition, then weird things can happen. |
