can you try typing "linux mem=xxxM" (where xxx is the amount of memory you have minus 32, eg 864) at the very first screen? I tried linux=864M and that got me past the kswapd failures. However I've experienced many other random failures. 1) received signal 11 2) error installing package x...This is a fatal error (different than bug 75377) 3) script abnormally exited I finally got it to install but then the system was extremely unstable. This was under smp and non-smp kernels. I tried installing 7.3 with same result. I'm now under the impression this is some sort of hardware failure. |
