Description Mike McLean 2002-08-08 22:09:54 UTC

* Milan-re0808.0

I got a signal 11 just after the kickstart file was recieved (via nfs).  The
kickstart was pretty normal except for the %post which looked like:
%post
cat >/root/autotest.sh <<ENDOFSCRIPT
#!/bin/bash
<insert large script here>
ENDOFSCRIPT
bash /root/autotest.sh install_cron

[I will attach the full kickstart file]

Will look at.

Comment 3 Mike McLean 2002-08-14 17:20:11 UTC

I've beaten this problem down to a several very small %posts.  Here are some
examples that cause the signal 11:

%post
echo \
this is a test

%post
echo 'this is
a test
'

%post
echo '
this is 
a test'

Oddly enough, the following %post does not cause the signal 11.

%post
echo 'this is
a test'

And I believe this problem goes back a ways.  I was able to get this error with
7.3 and 7.2 installs.  Haven't tried others yet.

Oh yeah this is an old problem.

We could probably filter this but not going to change this now.
