Generally signal 7's are a result of running out of drive space. You might want to check and make sure that you have sufficient space to install/upgrade the system. Reopen this bug if you are still having problems after checking on drive space. |
I tried reinstalling on my 486: put the install floppy I had created and used before in, rebooted and now I get as far as choosing the cdrom, pas card, lan card (and configuring it), THEN when I choose OK there's a 20 second pause THEN it bombs with the following error (along with what it does afterwards) : -- 8x -- Built in exception class not found: exception library mismatch? Warning! Falling back to string based exceptions Install exited abnormally - received signal 7 Sending termination signals...Done Sending kill signals...Done Unmounting filesystems /mnt/source /dev/pts /proc You may safely reboot the system -- 8x -- I was successful a few times, but now I get this error, and cannot reinstall (have had problems with LAN and need to reinstall Linux).
