FYI - based on earlier bugs/comments, I have verified the MD5 Sums on both CDS and the update disk, and they're good. What type of video hardware? OK - the video WAS an old style (not PCI) Trident board. Replaced that with an ATI Mach 64 VT PCI board and it now (correctly) DETECTS the video board AND the monitor, but still segmentation faults at the same spot when the updates are NOT applied. HOWEVER, if I apply the update disk (again, MD5 verified), I get 'anaconda line 5 50 segmentation fault' (instead of just 'Signal 11 Segmentation fault'). Also, FWIW, there IS an AGP slot on the motherboard; I just don't happen to have a spare AGP card floating around. Clay What are the last few lines of output on VC3 and VC4 (cntl-alt-f3 and -f4) when the critical error occurs? VC3 is: found suggestion of agpgart . . . looking for video cards requiring agpgart module found video card controller unknown . . <bunch of insmods all NULL> . going to insmod reiserfs.o (path is NULL) looking for USB mouse VC4 is: md: raid5 personality registered as nr 4 journalled block device driver loaded Any ideas Jeremy? Does your hardware pass memtest86 (http://www.teresaudio.com/memtest86/)? Yep - just passed 3 passes of the standard test.. This still seems to be a hardware issue, we have not had this occur on a variety of hardware. OK - have you specifically tried this on a system: 1) With an AMD CPU 2) With AGP Graphics Support 3) WITHOUT an AGP Graphics card installed I'm trying to determine if buying an AGP card might solve my problem. Thanks! We do not have a FIC 503+ motherboard, so I can't speculate on what might be casuing the problem. I'm not saying there isn't a problem, but it is not something we can fix because there are just too many varieties of hardware. If you can borrow a different video card and try it out it could act differently. OK - I picked up an AGP video board, and that seems to have made no difference. Any thoughts as to what hardware issues might be causing this would be appreciated. Also, what would happen if I just applied all of the new RPMS w/o actually running through anaconda? Thanks! Could you try using a different CD drive? This is the first report of a problem like this in several thousand bugs, so its difficult to diagnose. Just installed 7.3 on the exact same box, and it works great! So, whatever happened in 7.2 is fixed.... Thanks! Clay |
