Description Brock Organ 2002-10-04 22:13:22 UTC
* customer reported
* 7.2-s390 product
* running install in z/VM 

When trying to install a Red HAT server on VM the following happens always on
package XFree86-4.1.0-7. A memory fault occurs and the install aborts. If anyone
has run into this could you let me know how to solve it. I've defined 1 gig of
memory in my virtual machine but it doesn't seem to help. 


The Linux console shows the following.
